[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 16-Jul-01 AT 05:13 PM (EST)[/font][p]I have 351w in a Bronco. I have been trying to figure out why there's a noticeable power increase at 2600 rpms. It kinda resembles what a turbo might do. I'm not complaining about the power increase but there seems to be a power decrease below 2600 rpms. I'd really like to achieve more bottom end power. I just had it tuned and the mechanic said that the engine is in good shape and he said that advancing the timing could cause it to perform like that. Could he be right? I bought it used so I don't know what the last guy did.

Hey, man your problem is a vacuum leak (most likely) I had the same problem, check/change your intake manifold gaskets.
Steve,
