Seriously though, I had heard a bunch of info about how the IRIS sytems works and what it does for power and air distribution. Taking this to heart I realized that the reason I was loosing power when I got on it rather than gaining had of been the check valve. This is what allows the IRIS system to work at a heavy throttle position. Since there is almost no vaccum at WOT this container holds it for when it is needed. I looked at the chack valve before when I resealed the motor and realized it was cracked and prob leaking. With this in mind I looked up the info and everything matched up. So i bought the hoses and valve and now my car runs great. Might not be what you are dealing wit but worth while to give it a try. Search IRIS and you will turn up some good info.

nice one Tom, congrats on your common sense about the issue..
