have you checked for air leaks mate?
brake cleaner is good to check!
spray around throttel body ect.
also check timing,
your best bet is to check the aux belt pulley, the key holes wear

sell it ha ha ha what he means chaps is that it revs round to 4000rpm then takes its time to get to 5000rpm but when it gets there it picks up pretty quick trust me ive driven it lol its an x14xe with a mantzel style power box, piper x air filter, 4-2-1 branch manifold and a few other fancy bits. im sure i have seen it on here before does anyone reckonise it here is a picture of it
could it just need a re-map to ensure its benifiting from all the fancy bits that are on the engine cos i think it has alot more potential. or would it be worth saving up buying some cams, port + polish the head then think about having it remaped ???
what do you think chaps ???

It sure will. Cone filters are notorious for causing flat spots due to heat soak.
