K so once I put plugs and a oil change on my well over due lx. I have noticed a hesitation ( like someone is taping the braks) an obvious power loss btwn 2500- 4000RPM then it picks back up like I've put te jug to it. Could this be a back pressure issue bc I have 3in exhaust that's cut off right at the rear axle. On a NA motor
I doubt it. I k.ow plenty of guys that run 3" exhaust with no problems. For the most part a lot of what you hear in back pressure is a myth. You may loose a little lowend torque but will make it up in the higher rpms.
Did this happen exactly when you did this tuneup? You may have knocked something loose or need to reset timing?
If the plugs check out fine you might want to check the whole ignition system with an ignition scope to make sure there's no problems in your primary and secondary ignition

Well b4 the oil change and plugs it ran rough but btwn 3500 an 4000 rpm u can feel a big power gain With the gears it has plenty of low end I think once I did te oil and stuff it's more noticeable I'll check tho timing and see what it's like. It's got a msd cap
Yeah it could be but if you want to know for sure hook up an ignition scope that way you wont just be throwing parts at it that may or may not fix it save some money and alot of frustration that way
Timing looks good pulled the plugs and seems like number 1 is getting more gas then the others. The others r burning right but 1 has gas on it. Could that be the O2 sensors
