i got on the throttle tonight and at 4500 RPM's the car sounded like it was coughing and lost power. it happened in third gear too. It runs very smooth from 1-4 thousand RPM's but at 4500 it sortof jumps back and misses in a way. I did notice it a cou-ple of weeks ago but havent gottne on it since. it runs fine otherwise. COuld the timing be retarded too much?? I had it adjusted for the nitrous. Any ideas? Thanks. The car is a dog now ;(
