The stronger the springs, the sooner they lift as you accelerate/the less vacuum it takes to lift them.
Actually, I think I have the opposite problem. Just above idle, it starts crapping out. When it starts crapping out, fuel is dribbling from the boosters. I *think* the springs are too strong, and lifting the rods too soon. Once I raise the RPM enough to get past the crappy spot, it rocks. Getting it above 3K is the problem, from 3K till BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!! is great.
I'm going to pull the springs out, to test my theory. If that works, it's time to make a 30 mile trek into town, for the $9 spring kit and a set of fresh plugs.
I don't care about the road-drivability aspect, as this car will likely only see autox/track use for a while.
While I'm at the speed shop, i'm gonna inquire about solid floats. I have access to a stock S4 turbo manifold and turbo. I just might go blow thru on the 1405......
