Extreme loss of power at 7100 rpm. Help needed!

awkwardturtle · 01-29-2012, 07:21 AM

I know of a guy on another car platform that had a very similar problem - supercharged setup, in the upper revs power just dropped off for no obvious reason. Turned out a plastic section of his intake was bending shut from the pressure at the upper RPMs, closing off the intake somewhat. I doubt that's your problem, but it's another thing to look for. Sounds like it has to be some sort of mechanical problem because anything tune-related that would cause that seems like it'd be fairly obvious to the tuner.

Hmm, that is very interesting, only reason I think it is software related is that it always happen 7100 rpm..Like the train is NEVER Late lol.
