I just broke my 5.7 engine in last night so I ran it up to speed a few times to see what she'd do. The engine was balls out and running great with all the positive G-Force of a space shuttle launch... That was until I hit 110 mph. Then it was like someone just pulled the plug. It immediately felt like the computer was retarding the timing severely, or the engine was suddenly starved for fuel... Basically, it felt like there was a limiter on the engine.
I know it wasn't the knock sensors because I'd recently tanked up on 91 octane, mixed with about half a tank of 88 octane, and the engine showed no signs of knock.
I did install some mods a few days ago; like adding a cat-back and CAI. I don't even have 200 miles on the re-set computer since I installed the mods, so I'm wondering if that's what's causing it.
Whatever it was it was weird! I ran it four times in a row, and every time it was like hitting a brick wall as soon as I hit 110. I couldn't get a single mph more.
Has anybody else experienced this?
