its feelin pretty weak under 2250rpm...it also shakes a little bit and almost sounds bogged down but once i hit about 2500 its fine- any ideas what could be responsible for this? its all stock except for full exhaust. thanks

Hmm....could be anything. Timing off, burnt valves, bad compression.

snap.
well where/how do i start to pinpoint the problem?

exhaust leak? thats usually it

x1n54n3x

yeah that was my initial thought but im just checkin to make sure it isnt anything big... do exhaust leaks only affect the low end or all around?

i dont think an exhaust leak would get power loss down low. maybe if your header is shaking loose. check all your bolts. put your hand near joining areas see if you can feel air come out. if so theres your leak. otherwise you have other issues. run codes, thats a start

FivePointOhh

an exhaust leak can effect low end, but not major.....do you have stock gears? i know i feel like i have no low end because of them

on a ob1 cars a leaking exhaust isn't a big issue......check your timing,did this start after a fill up? look at your dist cap,wires..I have seen even a fuel filter do this

it didnt start after a fill up and yeah i have stock gears. im headed into the garage right now to tighten everything up in the exhaust area, so i'll see if a leak was the problem

the leaks aren't your problem...
