like the title says. i have a 3vz swapped 91. first off, ive seen dyno graphs and what not, but why do i feel severely down on power? any ideas on what to look for/check for? the other day i rode in my buddies stock 2000 honda civic si (b16 power) and it felt like he would rape my mr2.

i cant even get it to break loose in corners in first gear unless i rev up. and there is a weird power spike at about 5200. i know its not something that can be diagnosed over the internet but maybe you guys can tell me something that i should look for/service. or something liek that.

ideas would be great?
