[QUOTE="SmelchoMG, post: 12659335, member: 136616"] 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.
