Check for boost leaks before you do anything. That sounds like what Cody's car did before we fixed 3 huge leaks. Maybe make a video of a 3rd gear pull if you can so we can get a better idea of what's going on.

I have NGK plugs at .030. And I wouldn't think I would have a boost leak cuz I'm hitting the desired boost that my tune is set to.

Just because you have a boost leak doesnt necessarily mean you wont hit your desired boost level. Your car seems to spool slower than cody's but that could be a number of things. All im saying is for the $5 it takes to make a boost leak tester its worth the peace of mind. Might as well start out with the easy things before jumping to the more difficult and expensive things.

Here's a little tip when looking for boost leaks. Find a 3/8" or so hose thats a few feet long and put one end in your ear and take the other end and poke it around the engine bay to suspected leaking areas. You'll know when you find a leak lol

Yep, carefully slide the seal over the injector tip and then use the cupped end of the other tool to shape it into the relief on the injector so it'll insert into the head properly.

I put it back on. By the way all of my seals looked good. And I have run race gas as well as alot of boost. So maybe they are not friendly to e85.

seal

finally got around to pulling out the injectors in my car, and one of the injectors was missing a seal. Had the exact symptoms that IamBroke listed.

Im running on e85 mix and did seafoam maybe 5k ago or so.
