Greetings everyone,

I am checking to see if anyone has ran across this issue. I purchased a MK2 FFR cobra about a year ago. The issue is the car runs good until it hits 3500 RPMs and when it hits 3500 it sounds like its hitting a rev limiter. The rev limiter is set at 6700. This is a 1994 302 crate engine with a 303 cam. I bought this car knowing about this issue. Since then I have changed the ignition system (plugs, wires, distributer, coil and MSD 6AL box). I recently installed a Jim Inglese 8 stack EFI. Now I am thinking it must be something internal or possibly a tune issue. The engine runs rich as well. Thanks in advance for any input.

Are you vacuum advance timing or mechanical? or both? Obviously you've checked timing but is it just not advancing?
