i just finished my swap and have noticed once i hit about 4grand there is no power whatsoever... i have been shifting at 4 grand when im trying to make it go fast... i dotn know if its because of the stock IHI turbo or what!!!! i do have a 2.73 rear...that hurts alot. Why does it have no power gain after 4g?!?!? my cam is for 1800-5900rpm range power,, so it isnt doing much good right now.

Ps anybody have any 3.73 or higher 8.8 gears they wanna sell me?

-thanks ,

Mike

I don't know...does it fall on it's face, cut out, sputter, etc. or just not pull quite as hard? The stock turbo motors where fast when shifted at about 5 grand.

double check the cam timing. It may be off a tooth.
