Yesterday was the first time to drive my Talon. When I floor it, it gradually gaines RPM until around 5+ RPMS, where then it will put you back into your seat. Until the high RPMs it doesn't pull very hard at all. I have not launched the car yet. I have dropped it down to 2nd and got on it from a roll. Pulls hard on the top end but once I shift it'll just drop back down until it gains more RPMS again. Is this a slow spool or any other hints?
 
I am thinking the A/F is off, but I don't see it hurting the cars performance that much. I mean it doesn't even feel like I have the car floored until higher RPMS. Anyone know a good shop in Houston to tune these cars or work on them?
