power loss suddenly at 6000 rpm please help

Hi all,

just finished my finals and took my car out for a drive (oh I miss her so much), I wanted to work the engine a bit, ... put it in 3rd and went all the way up 6000 rpm, right after that, there was a strange noise, sounds like the engine is muffed, but the sound sorta coming from the back (BTW I have straight pipe and mech secondary and she usually sounds solid and bright), at that time there was no power, feels like the car is pulled back, I shifted.... there was I back fire... The car run fine after the shift, then I tried again... put it in third and 6000 rpm, same thing... put it in 4th and reved up, sounds even worse, however, then I slowed down, put it in second... this time it is better, went all the way to 6500 no problem...

I did a search here, however was not able to find the answer, I sense it is something about the fuel or ignition, but do not have a clue about what's realy happening. Any advise is appreciated, thanks!!!

Ya, check the filter. Sounds like it's starving at high rpms. Just takes until top of 3rd to empty out the bowls.
