weird new engine running problem.
Well My car once running will idleat 1k rpm right now.
I have set the timing perfectly.
Now this is where it gets weird.
I will give it some throttle to about 2k and it's fine.
I get to about 3k and I hear a PSHEWWWWWwwwwww................
The noise isn't wicked loud. But I could hear it from inside my car.
Could this be my BOV set too low? I haven't adjusted it yet since I haven't even been able to move the car more than 10ft. It's a Apex BOV.
I can't remember if it happened on off throttle or while still applying it.
I did tap the gas slowly trying to increase it back up before it droppped the RPMS too low.
It struggled for a seconds then gave up and dropped off.
Any thoughts?

boink.
I'm going to mes with timgin a bit since Jrat pointed out it has to be under 1k or the ECU starts modding the timing.
Anyways.
Anyone think if a reason other than a loosely set BOV?

It's an Apex BOV so it's open atmo.
It was set in the position I got it out of the box.
I would get to about 3k RPM and it just opens. I guess the vacuum was the right amount.
I tightened it down for now and drive it around for a second before the battery crapped out.
