Its never run above 3500 yet, because I was breaking in the engine and new trans for the first 500 miles. When I sent it down to the tuner the trunk was full of optional stuff to install in case it needed more fuel or different pulley sizes. I trust pauls work, so I guess we will see what happens. This is the first time I ever shopped any car thing out. But since I do not have the time to learn tuning, figured leave it to a pro. If he tunes it and still the problem is there. I can only assume when the previous owner did a horrid job of dissassembly that a ground or somthing is cut. I decided I would just remove the harness and install a painless harness. The car was low mileage the previous owner dissassembled it to make a show car. We instead of using the proper tools to remove plugs, he like to just cut them. Probably spent more time wiring the car then anything. I have a feeling it might be somthing that might be jumping to a ground or somthing.
