Scott, I would take a trip to see the guy that posted above me before he moves...

No need to now...I went ahead and looked over the car tonight. It was the CMCV plates on the manifold. But the issue was the wiring harness that went across the back on the manifold, and a chassis to motor ground I have sitting on the rear manifold bolt. The way it was sitting it was getting in the way of the metal arms thats links to the CMCVs basically cutting them off while they were in motion so they would begin to move and then run into the wiring harness and the metal ground and stop causing the car to stop making power higher in the RPM band.

I tied up the wiring harness and moved the ground. Made some adjustments to the tune and took it out for a cruise. They car melts the tires through first and second gear, and pulls hard all through the power band.....Car is running like its old self now like its on steriods. Its good to go:thumb2:

I'm just glad it was a simple problem that could be corrected so easy.

Outstanding

Yes, very happy. Its been a headache. When he put the pedal to the floor and i heard the engine rev up instantly and I saw smoke coming from the rear I was like its about fucking time.....then once we got traction it took off and never stopped pulling.:omfg: My dad was driving at the time while I was datalogging and he just had a big smile on his face:clap:

Did some cleaning under the hood, and install a cleaner set of shorty headers for the car right now. Install went very smoothly and the car definitely lost some of its aggressive tone switching to the shorties, but overall performance wise, not much of a change.

Here are the pics.

One of our members did a photoshop for me to see what the car would look like with darker wheels. I must say it does look nice.

I also have a FRPP Manifold on the way courtousey of AJ @ Amped Speedlab. I figure I have wasted enough time getting it to run right its about time I bought myself something to celebrate. I will have updated pics once the manifold is on and installed.
