jgreening, i know what you mean... the 3sgte can be a lot like a stock 5sfe at times... part of the reason why it gets faster at 4k is because of the tvis system. if you disable it, you should gain that kick in the but feeling in the lower rpm! ... its just one vac line u disconnect can cap under the motor. im planning to do mine next time in under the car.
