Ive said this before, but i have a stock fuel system running 5 pounds of boost (A trim), with a vortech FMU.... After i installed everything, i noticed that under boost, it will sputter real bad when the RPM are up.

1st gear, at 3800 rpm it wuill start sputtering, 2nd gear at 4K it will start sputtering..... 3rd and 4th i can ride the whole gear out under full boost and not have a problem which is weird.. any suggestions why only 1st and 2nd do that and 3rd and 4th im fine??

maybe youre blowing out the spark in those gears because the rpms are moving up a lot faster than in 3rd and fourth. whats your gap set at?
