Re: SVX can't climb hills

Fuel Filter has around 400 miles on it. While it was running on flat ground and going up one of the not as steep hills in my test, I womped on it and she did spool out to redline on multiple occasions. I can't stress how much life it suddenly has lol.

I hit around 70 on the straightest shot and held it for about 30 seconds, no issues there. Revs were low and TC seemed to have locked.

Now because the roads were covered in snow and all kinds of other shenanigans, I wasn't sure of what it was, but just as I pulled into the parking lot and it lost all power, I thought I heard some clunks or bangs. Reminded me of my Legacy's Exhaust coming undone and hitting the ground. I got out of the car and checked under it and nothing was dangling or visibly mangled.

Once it got off the steep hill, all was fine again. Is there a possibility that my car is only fueled by voodoo magic?
