is it just my car or is it that when you top out 3rd at like 125-130 and take off the hold button to get into to forth your car just seems like all the power is gone? Just wondering

In 4th it takes forever to climb in the auto. I've had mine past 140 and it took a long time to get up there. It is due to the ratio in the trans and the ratio in the rear. Have you ever ran your car at the track yet?

not exactly it was pulling pretty good... do you have a boost gauge... sounds like maybe your secondary turbo isnt coming online full boost or even at all.... i really didnt think it slowed down to much into fourth cuz i was still boosting 10lbs

In truth, a lot of the power IS gone.
I've had better luck just keeping leaving the car in 'D' and keeping the pedal to the metal. When the car shifts into 4th or Overdrive, there is definitely a marked decline in the acceleration. It has taken me a looooooooong run of over several miles to get to my top speed of 158 mph. And that was when it was a nice cold winter day. These days it is hard to get over 140.
