i have an ls in my hatch with just an intake and 2 1/4 exhaust piping. when i try to accelerate, it seems sort of sluggish at first, then pics up. will a header and high flo cat fix that? what else can i do to improve my get up?

 

check your spark plugs

 

is your car running "rough" ? possible misfire!

 

not really rough, but SLIGHTLY sluggish. i changed the plugs not too long ago. anyone else????

 

it's a honda thang......

 

what kinda gas r u using?

 

mostly 87 chevron...right now i got 89

 

change gas and it can possibly be ur clutch thats slipping.

how does it feel when you take off on a hill? do u over-rev just to go?

 

i have a 95 EG with a LS swap w/ intake and 2 1/4" exhaust. i run 93 octane all day long and mine doesnt seem slugish to me. hell i kept up with a 86 trans am with a 350

i doubt its my clutch, it only has about 8,000 miles on it. act stage 2. should i stick with 89 octane....and just do a complete tune up? what exactly should i change for a complete tune????

 

does it bog when you're trying to accelerate?

 

it doesnt really bog.... just hesatates around 2000-3500 rpm's......then at 4000-.... its gets going...

 

its a ls what do you expect? lol. j/k. when you find out what the problem is let me know im quite interested. this sounds weird.

So in a sense its like turbo lag? Change the gas, perhaps some injector cleaner, a new fuel filter, spark plugs and wires?

 

Could be your muffler bearings to.
