It's FIXED!! (Lack of high end power)
I've been having problems with hitting redline and getting horrible gas mileage (11mpg) and having a shitty idle.
Well I've finally tracked down what was wrong... I know a few other people were having this problem and I'm hoping they will see this.
CHECK YOUR TIMING!!!!
The timing in my car must have been set opposite of what it was supposed to be or something. It would run alright but felt fairly underpowered and it got really bad in the higher rpm's. Now that I've correctly set the idle it pulls hard (for a n/a) to redline and feels MUCH better all around.
I haven't yet checked the gas mileage but as soon as I get those results I will post them up.
As for the idle... It is better but not perfect. The BAC is bad so it needs replaced to fix the idle.
