So I'll preface this by saying I just did a full tune up with plugs wires coils and fuel filter. All ford brand stuff also cleaned the imrc plates and they are functional.
Now I noticed my car just doesn't seem to have the ass it should. 245 cheap tires and doesn't really seem to make them scream even in 1st from like a 20 roll. Car has a gen 1 jlt, xpipe, cat back and march dampener and under drives.
So I noticed after I stuck an sct strategy tune in it I was getting some break up at wot, pretty much all rpm after 3k. Stock tune it does not.I have a few theories....
1. Bad or too small fuel pump. The car has the ass end of another car possible it's an earlier gt or v6 with a smaller pump. Or it's 23 years old and just dying out.
2. Bad gas or low octane .
3. The Cai connection is not the best and could possibly be pulling in unmetered air.
4. FPR because it's also 23 years old.
5. Unrelated, but possible mounts for motor and trans are shot too, lot of shifter movement under WOT.
Your thoughts are welcome
