If its something simple ill do it myself... I had the car tuned about two months ago with a capa flash tune and only notice this last night. I put all three tunes on the car this morning and it seams to happen only when I put the pedal to the metal... The car is tuned to 300rwk’s and I noticed last night as I would leave from a standing start the car would pull away well but then loose power between 70kph to 80kph or 90kph at around 5000rpm's but then it would pick up speed and continue on... not to sure if I should change spark plugs as the plugs were last changed at around 30000km ago. Cheers Sam

I reloaded the factory tune this morning and uploaded the 13psi tune again and the car did the same thing, so I tried all three tunes high boost and low boost and the car did the same thing... on all three occasions I uploaded the factory tune before I loaded the custom tunes... Cheers Sam
