when i first did my engine conversion, i noticed this, a huge flat spot below 1800 rpm.
as in NO power at all, go to take off and the engine sounds like its going to die, and the car would crawl at a sails pace untill it hit 1800 rpm then the power would come back instantly, kinda anyoing in the wet as it would wheel spin, and had to back off the accelerator, after fitting the streetfighter II manifold, the problem disapeared, it has now comeback, and is only present when the engine is cold. When when the engine is hot, its not as bad but i can definatly still feel it.
any help greatly appreciated.
edit: it only happens under load, so when it occurs, i hit the clutch rev it to over 2000rpm and then let clutch out slowly as to keep it over the RPM, this will be the only way to get moving
