how long have you had the safc on the car? did the car do this before/after the safc? can you remove the safc and make sure that's not part of the problem? what happens after 5500? do you have a stock maf? Anytime you have a vague problem like this the more info the better.

yay timing and knock retard.ecu is pulling timing and is in the knock map because you have other issues.im gonna guess you have your car 'tuned' with the safc...

whenn the issue happens its as if its only firing 3 cylinders speraticlyas if it where dumping boost,also when i was on the highway at one pointthe waste gate actuater came off and the car never did the"problem"just didnt have boost,so i disconected my boost controllerand put back to normal,yet it still does it but only at 6500 for like a split second,so i thought it might be the boost controller,replaced with brand new one and still did it,only running 12 psi...and no i didnt "tune anything" with the safc,i didnt start having this problem until i pulled out the silencer in my muffler?!?!?.....random: myabe its running lean>but the safc hasnt even been messed with,all voltage through the afc is registering corectlypossibly the 02 sencer?it looks fine...?

the o2 sensor has no input under WOT driving. only partial throttle cruise.

whats your timing set at? rb's are hyper sensitive to timing.

i meant ignition timing, not cam timing.

search on how to set your timing, its been covered many times.
