Alright guys, so I am going to try and provide as much detail as possible here and see if there is a reasonable answer to explain the issues that I have incurred.
So I took a few trim pieces off of the car the other day to have them painted, and really did not want to drive it while I had them off. I took the opportunity to take a look at a few things that I had been curious about as I am not the original owner of the car. I have the dyno sheet in the glove box showing that the car had dyno'd at 574rwhp. I have been digging to see what all had been done to get there, as well as make sure all supporting modifications have been made. While the car was down I wanted to make sure that the brick had been reinforced, and the injectors had been upgraded.
While investigating, I pulled the lid, blower, brick off of the lid, and injectors from the blower. I've got another thread going where i received help identifying the injectors. I believe they are 95lb injectors but I will be getting and HP Tuner to help confirm. While pulling everything apart I broke a fitting, the clip on the back of the bypass valve, and bent the intake gaskets. I replaced the fitting, the gaskets, and superglued the clip back onto the bypass valve while adding a zip tie when reinstalling. The only part I had any uncertainty about while putting everything back together was whether or not one of the injectors seated properly into the blower.
Now for the issue, or issues. The main, and most obvious thing that I have noticed is that at WOT the car cuts out tremendously at around 120MPH. I have also noticed that in neutral the car sometimes spikes from around 600 to 8 or 900 RPM. It may be my paranoia, but I also think that the car is lagging with every gear that I shift into.
As stated above, I do not have a tuner, but I do work at a diesel mechanic shop and was able to borrow one of our guy's scan tool, as well as a little expertise from him. I've attached a pic or two of the screen on the scan tool while the car was at idle. My friend's best guess was a vacuum link or improper tuning causing the car to run rich. I have added picture of the vacuum lines as well. I am almost certain that they are the same as they were when I removed them. As far as the car running rich, I believe it had been running that way before I ever performed any of the work stated above.
I do appreciate any help that I can get from you all here. If you have any questions for me, or if there is any pertinent information I may have left out please let me know.
