Folks:
I've got about 3500 miles on my 05 6 speed. I've just started to really get on it now and then. I notice a drop off in power at about 6500 rpm before it starts to pick up again at about 7000. Is this consistent with your experiences? Thanks.

please ask all your questions in just one thread instead of creating several

 

There is a subtle drop from 5000 to 7000 but very subtle - at about 7200 manifold opens a valve that opens a shorter length tuned to higher RPM which extends the powerband a lot, and it's usually pretty smooth. I had problems with that when the dealer overfilled the oil by 3 or more quarts but that was solved after draining the excess back out.

Don't pay any attention to the wannabee moderators on the board. Thats common on a lot of forums.

 

These stupid dealers..... don't they realize how much oil the use when performing oil changes.... The same thing happened to me... They overfilled it just a bit... but I'll wait until it burns off....

 

You will experience a dip in power around there. If you look at any dyno for the Renesis, you will see it dips at 3 points. One at 3750, another at 5,000 or something, and then another at 7,500. The power will dip before these points (each point is where a new port / injector comes into operation).
