[bigboto_boy]

a homie of mine said it may be a vack leak or sumthing like that but he is not to sure... car has headers but are rusted to the dome lol and i think it has a exhuast with a ricer dual tip lol

just got the head rebuilt and head gasket replaced

maybe you should check to see if the second cam is in there, dur!

haha jk, i have a single cam, i don't think its that slow compared to dual cams.

too much weight?
different diff gear?
tires to big in overall diameter?
cam timing off depending on how much you cut the head?
improper head torque?
did you inspect the head bolts? clean and lubricate?
poor valve job?
if any valve job was done check your valve clearance? there is 37 different shim sizes available from Nissan
bad sensors?
poor fuel?
improper oil?
ac pump constantly on?
dirty air filter?
clog somewhere in intake?
cat clogged up?
resonator clogged up?
muffler clogged up?
detuned ECM for better mpg?
improper spark plug gap?
bad spark plug wire?
ignition timing?
throttle cable out of spec?
throttle body not opening fully?
maybe the way you drive, rev the car to redline, don't shift like my friend at 2-3K rpm and complain that its slow.
cam switched? intake and exhaust are different
clogged fuel injector(s)? not getting proper mist. Or wrong injectors, to big?
egr, including solenoid that controls the egr?

i checked the plugs there was a lil oil on them so it might be misfiring also

oh and about redlining it i dont even think it will reach redline lmao

and im getting a new hks hipower for two bills from my homie see if that helps and new oil pan gasket due to a lil leakage and mobil1 oil oh and new plugs hope these things satisfie me

the head and gasket wasnt done by me

thanks for ur time people

now that you see you got oil on plugs, do a leak down test.
maybe those headers were made in a garage by somebody that has no clue about making headers so you are loosing power now. Length and diameter must be matched according to the engine
