If that doesn't show up anything have back pressure checked across the main cat and pre-cats.

my car does that when it's low on gas, like 1/4 tank and below.

does it not rev above that rpm at part throttle and full throttle?
does it allways act this way?

I noticed this under WOT prior to my 7/03 mods, but haven't really checked since. At the time, I figured it was a fuel problem ie., old filter, unknown condition of stock injectors?? I haven't messed with either yet, but since you've brought it up, I'll check it out some time soon and see if it's still doing it and try to remember to get back to you. :thumbs:

If excessive back pressure isn't the problem and fuel is ok, consider installing a HyperTech coil/cap/rotor.

an exhaust shop can check the pressure before and after the main cat to tell you if it's clogged.
