2 questions
i drove a really nice 87 gxl, one that i would really like to buy by the way. anyway, ive got two questions. 1, what is the rpm that the little beep goes off at, and is that a good shift point 2. well, i guess this is the third question, when i got up past 4000 it kinda slowed in acceleration.

OBEY YOUR MAZDA
The rpm buzzer goes off at around 7000rpms
most power is allready gone on an unmodified motor at that point.
And if it stopped accelerating above 4000, im assuming that the sleeves are stuck

What RPM you shift at depends on how you are driving. The auxillary ports are not opening up killing your high end. It's kinda like mazda's version of vtec I guess.

yeah, thats what i meant with, racing another car. sorry to confuse everyone. well, its not like it totally dies, it just feels like it kinda slows on acceleration. i was thinking maybe just a cold air intake could fix that problem. how do you check if the ports dont open?

When looking at your engine bay from the passenger side, look at the lower intake manifold. You will see a ACV valve in the center, with a hose going to the airpump. On either side of that ACV, there is a vacuum diphragm. Connected to these diaphragms is a rod that goes to a small lever on the manifold. You should be able to press down on the top of this rod, and that will open the ports. If you can press down on these fairly easily, then chances are your ports are opening. If not, they probably needed taken apart and cleaned.
