Knock Retard....Fuel Starvation....Torque Management ???

Knock Retard....Fuel Starvation....Torque Management ???
I really need a scan tool bad Not having a laptop sucks too.
Car is doing something similar to when I first installed the smaller SC pulley.
Acceleration is strong but if I accelerate from a dead stop....even without any wheelspin...and hold it at full throttle, after about 13 secs. when it gets to almost exactly 90 mph it stops accelerating and feels like I lifted the throttle to half even though it'* still matted, then accelerates very slowly. Knock retard can't be that dramatic, can it?
If I start full throttle acceleration from a higher speed, it doesn't happen.
Sort of kills my 0-100 or 1/4 mi runs. .....even with a cool engine and outside temps.
Like I said, it did that when I first installed the pulley a couple of years ago but went away after a short while.
Is this a PCM learning thing.....or maybe associated with the new DPH computer :?:
The higher fuel pressures or the AFC 1.1 didn't help.
Any ideas :?:

SCAN TOOL!!!
Get on ebay, buy a cheap 100mhz laptop. The buy an autotap. All your problems are solved. Then it would be quite easy to see what the problem is.

dude you got a computer glitch. I bet your at about 6000 rpm when this happens right? That is a known problem.
Tell me more about this "known problem".

I don't think a 100mhz laptop will be useful, remember, you'll want excell and autotap running at the same time, minimum. A decent network connection would be nice too. A great new laptop can be had for $1000, with a fast processor, wireless and the whole kit and caboodle.

Digimoto is an inexpensive program and obd2 attachment that I got for $89 us.
The software looks promising and does everything auto tap does.
I hope to get it soon as it shipped 9 days ago.
