cc306 missing its topend
My cc306 seems to be missing all its top end. It seems like it pulls good then falls plat on its face at 4000 rpm. If im cruising in 4th i can push on the gas with ease and feel the thing pull you into the seat untill 4k. It will still rev out just without the power. Maybee running lean? I know that others have used the v6's fuel pump as i did without problems and they worked. Its only temp but i think it could be that or my exhaust witch is a temp hack job to. Its only 2 1/2 inch pipe. All my sensors are new and it seems to run realy well now with the exception of slightly hard warm starts.
Any one seen this before?
Hopefully after i swap the FP and exhaust it will run better.

My buddy Harlan made this, this can help diagnose stuff.
If it isnt the FP, then look at the ignition/opti.

Re: cc306 missing its topend

stock fuel pump is rated to 400 or 450hp. i don't remember. but your also battling with age. i believe my old haynes manual says that the stock lt1 system should be somewhere around 38-44 or something like that. check your pressure with engine off and then check it at idle. it should be lower at idle.

hmm i will re-adjust wich i was planning to do anyway and see what happens. Stock lifters soon to be upgraded to comp. I was told i could get away with the stockers so hopefully they will last for at least a little while.

{in death bed voice> Must Have Fuel!!! <voice off}
Yeah oem is fine, and lighter, not sure what the consensis is on when they are done, mine have 90K and are happy. I'd say 150K should be about it depending on use and abuse and how much spring loads.
I still strongly believe you need more fuel. Do you have bigger injectors? You may be in need of svo 24's or 30's and some tuning.

I'm about to put CCR lifters in my car because the stockers were looking pretty haggard. I have no faith in those who say the CCR's are junk... especially with not knowing how the valves are being adjusted.
For fuel just by yourself a fuel guage at any parts store, hook it up to the Schrader, put it in your windshield, take the vacuum line off and do a couple of WOT runs. If you see it back off in pressure at all then it needs to be replaced.
