Car (RS500?), and does it do it at a particular point in rev's, and does it cut, stutter, 'hit a brick wall' ?

Yeh its an RS500, with a T34 hybrid and 200 block low comp motor. The set up was fine before it was reshelled. It sounds like its missfiring/stutters, like it hits the limiter(but it isnt), it doesnt cut out. But it only does this when I put my foot down.

It may be a good idea just to take it to a rolling road and get it checked out incase it does any damage, may be cheaper in the long run

I wish everything was so simple to fix

Was going to suggest the wiring to the fuel pump as this should be upgraded when fitting the 044 pump.

Have you rewired ? might be worth doing.
