help
I just installed a new custom made cold air intake. Also put on a new starter. Now when i'm driving, i can give half gas up to 6 thousand rpm's. But when i give it full gas it will not go above 4 thousand?
I do not know if it has anything to do with the starter or the cold air intake. Can anyone help me

It could be causing a negative effect. Your intake is only good to 4500rpms anyway. It may be there is too much turbulence at WOT. Only guessing... With more air you need more fuel (bigger injectors) and less timing. Your speed density system doesnt take kindly to mods without chip burning.
