does it fall on its face every time at 3 grand? I always suspect the cat first, since these cars are getting older.

Sounds like a lean problem. only if the car will still stay at 3k, if it slows down till it's rolling and barely idling then it's a combination of things.

When it does it, it has a Whistle after it looses power.

Update:
I put a Inline Fuel Pump in and it still does it, it almost feels like there was something lodged in the Intake or Same on the Exhaust, where it doesnt have enough room to flow. I took the Top of the Aircleaner off does that matter?

Update 10 minutes later, after typing the last thread, I realized that the padding **** could possibly be getting sucked in.... Low and behold guess what? It was!!!!

Is it ok to keep the Inline in there, I want to for the nitrous?
