Default no power

stock L-98
its been running rough...as the engine warms up, i start to lose power..

engine will run at just above an idle

the car will get to about 50mph, but it takes about 45 seconds.

any thoughts?

well i ordered a set of injectors from FIC recieved two days later...

about noon saturday, i started yanking the top end off engine..

after about an hour and a half, i called FIC (cell phone # included in package..) cause an injector was leaking..

i dont know who i spoke to, but they carefully explained a few inconsistancies i noticed..

2.5 hours hours later the engine was running ...more breathing fire...

i had no idea how strong this engine was....

kudos to FIC and the CF for the support and instructions on relpacement i found here...

cheers
Doug
