well last night i was getting on the freeway (motor was up to operating temp) and i was following behind my friend who was riding his cbr600. well he opens it up and even though i have no chance keeping up i didnt want him getting too far ahead. so i do the same. i was in 2nd and i went WOT, hit vtec, and at around 6k there was a huge loss in power. it didnt cut out but it just stopped pulling, so i went to third and it did the same thing. my car has always seemed somewhat slow for a 4th gen vtec (maybe cuz its a 96?) but it always pulls hard up to at least 7k. the only two things i can think of are low fuel pressure (caused by what?) and the fact that my clutch slips like mad. can someone help me here? thanks in advance!

 

How's your air and fuel filters?

 

yeah i would have to say fuel related too. reason: when i first got my swap, my motor lagged at the top end. pissed me off like crazy. but then i found out my injectors were clogged/dirty. so changed them out and its good.

OR

it might be the fact you were racing a CBR

 

it also has a little hesitation when i drive it "lightly" especially in the low end

it was hardly racing, more like trying to keep him in sight
