zc bounces

i was just gunning my way home on steels......and i have an automatic zc, and i was gunning the car from about leslie and 16 on to the highway and on to steels and right down to warden and steels....only sometimes when i hit close to 7 k, it hesitated....
and i tried it a few more times and it was fine, then it started hesitating....it was running fine before, but i noticed that in my previous motor, this happened when i was low on gas, and i checked the gas tank a second ago and i am well below the redline.......do u think this can be the problem? and is that bad?

Probably something to do with the fuel line. Sounds like theres not enuf fuel going into the engine.

tend to agree with dave....si rev limiter is around 6500....if you have the ZC ECU then your rev limit is about 7200 - 7500...again sounds like you hit the cap.
Bring it to KS-R if you are really worried...he's a wiz with the ZC engines....he's a TCC affiliate
