Doesn't sound like a fuel problem to me either, it sounds like a air
velocity problem. Depending on how long your intake runners are and what
the cross sections is you might have the old "small block chevy with a
tunnel ram that's too big" scenario.  that's exactly what my tunnel ram
did, if would fall on its ass till about 2000 rpm then take off like a
rocket, I changed to a torker II and the problem went away, not fact
just opinion, Jason
