front mount intake
2.5 inch exhaust
hIGH FLOW CONVERTER

let me guess, you raise the Fuel pressure to 55PSI and running uber rich and the car bog down

your front mount intake is wasting you gas, you probably will see a drop in performance because of it.

Put the stock parts back on and see if you still have hesitation.

Front mount intakes are completely stupid.

you know im new to this board but reving a f22 to 8500 is dumb as ****... mainly because of its R/S ratio and plus it stops making power around 6500

go ahead and shift at 8500 a golfcart will kill you on the strip

dumb people kill me go blow your motor up maybe youll learn

sounds like a problem with the fuel pressure regulator and/or ignition problem. That and the fact that you bought OBX parts. By a performance intake please, not a front mount advertisement for the automotively impared

You bought an adjustable regulator, but did you buy a gauge to go with it? If so, what is your fuel pressure at idle?

Just because the red line is set at 6500 doesn't mean the power band goes that high. Right between 5200 and 5500 is where a stock f22 should stop making power. Waiting until the line to shift is worthless.

As for the problem with your car bogging down. It could be a mix of a lot of things. The first thing i would suspect is you fuel regulator. Then the next thing i hear a lot is that those larger plug wires make the car bog for some reason... Happened to me and happened to a friend. Stock plug wires should give you enough spark for your car to run fine... Not sure why you have all these extremely worthless mods? But quit believeing everything you read.
