7K power loss

Allright... 89GTU K&N, cold air duct, no cats-Bonez race pipe, Racing beat catback.....

She runs good up 'till 7k and then the power drops off radically...... didn't do that before i opened her up....

Spark plugs had a really light tan coating on the ends when i changed them last week (this meant "lean" when i was running two stroke M/C's)

Also... seems to run better at 4/5 trottle than FWO.

Planning on checking these things

1) ECU Codes (duh)
2) Fuel Pressure
3) A/F ratio with a wideband (when I can find one!)

Anybody else run into this???? Suspect problems?????

I'm open to suggestions!!!

Anybody have a link to how to PROPERLY set the TPS on an 89-91??

Dont remember where max hp is made I think 6800. There is no need to be above 7k on a stock port engine.
