Zumn, I'm totally for real. The only reason. I stopped boxing is cuz my uncle went to prison for getting into a bar fight and put some dude in a coma for 2weeks. He's now doing 15 year's for assault with a deadly weapon(his hands) and attempted murder. the Guy is all messed up in the head now and is like retarded.

I know you have to register for a BLACK BELT in any Martial Art... but for LETHAL HANDS?
Funny quotes I found while researching this .... (LETHAL WEAPON HANDS)
If you have to register yourself as a lethal weapon, does that still mean registration leads to confiscation?
My hands are registered as lethal weapons. I once was arrested because I put them in my pockets (not allowed to carry concealed).
However, I have heard of professional fighters registering their hands, because once registered, their hands could be insured against career-ending injury with Lloyd's of London or somesuch. If it's a "deadly weapon", it has a purpose, and a value/potential worth that is insurable...
Is it really illegal? How do priests get away with it?

Yeah dude it was a lose lose situation. What suck to is that if he fights in prison he can get more time added cuz his hands are weapons. Its kinda like a marine fighting with a someone that's not trained to kill like he is. The marine will get fucked over for using his combat skills in a fight.

He's my step father's brother. I've known him since I was 5-6. He was a really cool guy. He never wanted anyone to pick on me cuz I was a little skinny dude so he tought me to box.

e-shaft sensor reset, fully warmed up, taking the 8 out for a spin. I assume that the numbers on the coils I posted are "fine" and I have the best possible 4 coils installed.

Alright, that helped quite a bit. Not a "wall" or "massive" power loss. It still stumbled at 6.5k again, but then recovered and pulled to redline closer to normal. The CEL actually cleared, but then popped a misfire almost immediately again (>6.5k), and it flashed a few times then went solid. So I still have something wrong.
Advance has a compression tester here, anyone know if it is worth picking up for less or comparable cost to the dealer's compression test? Dealers are closed till after Christmas anyway, so can't get into them before my trip, and don't want to do the trip on a failing engine, if it is indeed the engine
Edit:
Having them pull the code while I am here, just in case it doesn't say "misfire"

The compression testers available at the local auto parts store are not capable of giving readings for the individual sides of the rotor. You have 3 chambers on the rotor with 3 different compression values per rotor. Any compression tester not specific to the rotary will just read an average of all three chambers at the same time. Not independent chamber reading.
So it will not be a truly accurate compression test reading. So please do not waste your money.

the 20 foot stomps on the pedal should also reset your fuel trims so it might take a couple complete drive cycles before the car returns to 'normal'

Alright, almost positive it is my cat. I just did a test run on some open highway, and in 2nd, it WOULD NOT accelerate past 62mph at ~8.5k (redline buzzer was on, but I was definitely before the rev limiter) in 3rd, it was the same at 74 ~7.5k. It entirely felt like it simply could not flow any more air. No bogging from excess fuel or shuddering from misfires (actually didn't get any there at all), just a drop in acceleration until that point and full throttle, pedal to the floor, wouldn't go any faster.
Made the assumption that it was my cat getting clogged, dropped the RPMs to under 4k for the rest of the ride home, got an exterior cat temp of 340 degrees by the IR thermometer about ~5 minutes and ~4 miles in 41 degree ambient, and when I got out of the 8, I could smell a faint burning smell.
So, since I pursued other options earlier, have to wait for it to cool again to drop the cat, but fairly sure that it's the problem. I'll get a new one under warranty I am sure.

RIWWP; glad to hear you're getting closer to finding the problem.
I'm crossing my fingers for you that it's the cat as that'll be a fairly straight forward fix

Oh certainly getting the free dealer one BHR midpipe has had my eye for a while anyway, though other mods come first when I can finally spend money, all reliability mods. BHR ignition, RE-medy water pump, oil pellet, thermostat, etc...
Reliability > Power in my list, especially since Power = Reliability drop generally.
And a healthy 8 is plenty of power for me anyway, I don't crave more. Eventually it will be nice, but hardly something I dream about.
