so you are saying it lacks power till a certain rpm, if so, it is your ignition module.

i have the same problem (check my sig for mods). But for some reason my oil pressure guage fluxuates. when its above the half way mark, it seems that my car runs really strong. but when it drops down below the half way mark (almost between halfway and the lowest mark) it seems that i have no power... any suggestions for fixing this? or is it just in my head... or maybe its int he computer?

It sounds like you have stock gears and the engine takes a while to get to its powerband.

Or, what you just said about the oil gauge, there may be some sort of electrical problem, maybe with a ground or something.
