Hopefully someone here can shine a light on this. I have a 92 240sx 5 speed and its got the torque but once it starts to get to the higher RPMs it just doesn't pull strong then when you shift to the next gear it pulls until it gets to the higher RPMs again. It starts to show this at around 5500 up . What could it be. Timing is right,I have it about 2 deg. advance.

Any suggests would be appreciated.

Stock KA's don't like high rpms. This isn't a honda, KAs make torque down low.

And when you loose RPMs that far below the redline of the engine, you can make the engine last longer. The low RPM isn't a bad thing as most people assume...
