Backfire on hard accel at 4000 rpm
Just wondring if anyone ahs run into this issue .Car is 90 lx 5.0 stock heads and cam off road h pipe magnaflow cat backs . CAI 70mm tb and trickflow street heat intake timing is at 10 btdc . AOD w/3.08 gears .It is load and rpm effected if engine load is low and rpm is at 4000 will not pop thru intake .Does not feel like it is starving for fuel idles great and cruise great just when you mash throttle to the floor and it gets to around 4000 to 4500 it will pop thru intake.also has stock injectors thanks

RE: Backfire on hard accel at 4000 rpm
Well I had a similar problem a few years back with another Stang I had, It turned out to be a blown head gasket. Don't ask why or how it was determined, but the guy was right. It only happened at a high RPM. When I took the head off the gasket was blown between the 6th and 7th Cyl... This doesn't meen this is your problem, but it's something else to think about. Synyster
