Default 100 shot feels like it looses power at 5k why?

i have 100 nx plate system that i have on a switch that i hit when i am at 3k or over and for some reason it pulls like hell till around 5k and it feel like it looses some power, it feels like maybe it drops 25 or more hp. i have new filter new svt focus pump and tr-6 plugs gapped at 44. any one know why this may happen?

sounds like you may not be getting enough fuel

did you change your fuel filter? i would also try upgrading the fuel pump

and is your bottle pressure around 950-1050?

01snake, he said he has the focus fuel pump and new filter. so this is not the issue. Even on a stock pump he should have enough flow. do you purge the line before you spray? otherwise you may have air in the line or you may be puddling.

How is your tune set up???? Did you get a dyno tune/ and 02 readings??? I would take a look at your dyno sheet/af and see if that gives you any clues.

this morning i tried to see what happens if i stay on the bottle till 6200 and at 5k it dropped like it always has but around 5200 or maybe 5300 it was back to nomal just for a sec it dropped. I really need to get on the dyno. I think that it may be the bottle pressure being between 8 and 9k psi.

stop spraying until you get a tune... You are obviously bouncing off the AFR charts one way or the other. Get tune and reap the benefits.
