I am having a problem with my car cutting out under partial throttle on hills. If I am climbing a hill at 10 psi at 3000 rpm the car starts to buck and stutter. I am not getting knock counts when this happens. Any idea what is wrong? Spark gap is right. Has new spark plugs, wires and fuel filter. Mods are up to date on my profile.
 
Have you done a boost leak test, coil pack, bad wires, or bad wiring, maybe a short, could be a number if things to look for, didnt read your profile, do you have a tuning device?
 
His only tuning device is an old SAFC. The car doesn't miss under full throttle acceleration either, just under partial throttle. I was wondering if it could be part of the factory ECU settings. Maybe too much airflow for that much throttle and boost?
