Default PLEASE HELP!!!!! I AM GOING CRAZY!!!

Let me start by telling you what is done to my car. I have a 95 CX with a 94 Integra LS swap. It has a fully built head: Crower 403 cams
Crower valve components
heavy port and polish
7 angle valve job
Ferrea valves (oversized)
Skunk2 cam gears
A.E.M. Fuel Rail
RC 310 fuel injectors
B&M Fuel Pressure Regulator
B&M Fuel Pressure Gauge
4-1 stainless steel header
Skunk2 Intake manifold
I also have the SCI MSD setup with Blaster2 Coil, and I was wondering if you could tell me why my car keeps on cutting out at high RPM's? It acts like it is not getting enough spark or fuel, I can't tell which. When it cuts out I have to pat the gas to get it to rev, but the thing is, it don't always rev. Sometimes the car will just die, and it will not start anywhere from 5 to 30 min. It is starting to **** me off majorly and I hope some of you can help me out.

check that msd, i know poeple that have problem with them, check ur plug gap, if gapped too much can cause missfire at high rpms, i allways gap them on the tight side. if this does nothing start with a tune up, cap, rotor, wires, plugs. good luck

You have Crower Valve Springs too? It's not floating valves, is it?

nothing to do with the valve springs, it the rockers that cant take the revs, not the springs. there a open style, the only thing that holds them down is the cam, they are not atached to anything, like the vtec rockers

sounds like a classic dying ignitor problem to me. Replace your ignitor/distributor and youll be good.

I had the same problem, are your rpms cutting out as well?

so what do I do about it? I mean the head was built to handle high revs and make lots of power. How do you change the problem with the rockers???

i diddnt mean that the rockers are the problem, i just mentioned 8k was alittle high for the design of the head and people have broken rockers before and are a weak link in a ls head. my money is on that pos msd is the problem

i replaced the whole dizzy, but afterward i learned you could replace just the ignitor. I would look into that.

DOes it feel like a rpm limit type cut? just way random and always in high rpms? Also does your tach cut? Like the rpm needle drops and pulls back up all random like?

Have you ever experienced fuel cut??? that is what it feels like. when it cuts out, the car acts like it just wants to die. I have to tap the gas to keep it from dying. and yes the tach needle drops very fast.
