OK heres the run down. I have an 03 MG coupe with about 81K. Yes high miles :shrug: Its a daily driver for another month or so. Anyways. THe car just feels like its lost power or just isn't really all there. The torque feels like its there, It still hits third pretty good breaking the tires loose. It just feels like top end power isn't all there..... I don't know how to really explain it more. It just doesn't feel right. A friend of mine said its probably my clutch (which I hate) is out of adjustment. But if its still really torqy on the bottom end wouldn't the clutch still hold the top end? Plus I'm still able to break the tires lose in 3rd. I do have the tick noise in the head but its the back passenger side. Here are my mods.
Bassani Muffler back
JLT CAI w/ K&N filter
Spec 3 clutch (puck style)
double hook quadrant
firewall adjuster
Adjustable clutch cable
B&M ripper shifter
FRPP diff cover
Eagle GT's on the front 255
summito 275 on the rear
NGK 7 Plugs gapped at .54 (not the irradiums)
I don't have any dyno numbers yet, but do you think I am just used to the power? Could it be the clutch? I just don't know where to start or what to do? :bash: Could I just be getting bad heat soak or something? I'm still new to this and always looking for advice or what to do.
I always change my oil and run premium fuel. The fuel filter was changed about 5K ago. The radiator and blower coolant was flushed about 5K ago also but done by a Jiffy Lube shop. I didn't have the time or place to do it at the time. Anything would help on where to start or what to do.
Thanks a lot guys for your future input. I hope to get some feedback on this. I'm so worried about this that i have actually stopped my future build project and started selling the parts for what ever I am about to encounter. Please help. And to SVT_Troy, thank you for the help you have already given me and I know you'll post in here shortly :beer:
