When racing, and changing gear but the gear is in and has been for about 1.5 seconds the car feels like its not pushing for a few more seconds then it all comes at once and you get lots of torgue rally fast? not sure how to describe it, but i think thats the best discription.

Any one had this ? what is it? Is it problem?

It's all about optimum rev changing. Change at the right RPM and you'll get the optimum amount of power/torque at the start and end of each gear.

1.5 seconds doesn't seem too much of a delay for the power to kick in, you can't expect most engines to have instant throttle response.

No i mean it never used to, there is like something slowing it down after the change for a split second but its really noticable and it didnt used to until last nite and my old car never did tht.

Oh, I get you, you mean it's got worse?
As always, give it a damn good service. This alone can improve the throttle response a lot.
Check plugs, dizzy cap/rotor if needed, air filter, oil etc.

Yeah, could be a variety of things really. Just make sure you change spark plugs and get the distributor checked if you haven't done so for a while.

If that doesn't work I'm not sure what it could be mate.
