I just took mine out today to a local car show and as i was pulling away i noticed it starts gasping and sounding raspy at about 4500rpm. I have stock intakes and highflow down pipes but is this normal? I feel like it isnt but i wouldn't know. I have the 5speed so it wad locked in 2nd gear when this happened

 

It's nothing I've ever experienced with mine. My first thoughts would be the air/fuel ratio or a weak fuel pump. Others will chime in I'm sure!

 

"Gasping"......running poorly, feels like it's cutting out?

Not sure what model you have but if it's a V12 HE with Lucas ignition, your secondary coil might be failing. This typically happens at 3000-3500 rpm, but, still......might be. It's a fairly well known problem

Its almost like its coughing and spitting. I think it mighy be fuel and i wont be able to tell untill i get a pressure gauge set up while im running under load

 

I am going with Doug on this. It sounds like the coil setup is not working.

Ill see, it used to make the same sorta noise when it had bad fuel pressure anyways so well see this weekend

 

im picking up one of Jameys coil upgrades this weekend.

 

I was thinking the coil upgrade was $70.

i just looked it up again, and at $35 + $11 shipping you would have to be crazy not to elminiate the old system!
