One thing to check is the intercooler aux. coolant pump. Check the fuse on the pump circuit ---it's located in the engine compartment on the passenger side near the firewall. I don't remember the fuse # but you can find it in the owners manual. I would get RP on occasion because my I/C pump wasn't working.

Another possiblity is a clogged fuel filter, or one of your two fuel pump may be bad. Checking fuel pressure might be a good start.

well i checked all fuses, they all are intact, how would i determine fuel pump? it doesnt drop pressure and have a hard start. i cannot figure why its happening, it runs perfect, until i try to go over 2900 RPMs. im at a loss

Most likely you have a intake leek some place. Check the underside of the bellows "flex part" on the intake tube. This is common to have cracks due to heat.

-25% is enriching the fuel to compensate for the extra un-metered air getting in.
