is your setup running aaggressive cam? I have a friend w/ a mustang w/ X-cam in it, and it lopes really hard, hard to take off from a light without spinning,or just normal driving like criusing is almost impossible without spilling drink ..I don't know what your set up is , but I just know from this experience that what you kinda explianed sounded the same.....G/L w your w/ working your kinks out....I would like to see this thing in action...
