2nd Gear dead spot?

Right around 4k+ rpm in 2nd gear the car just falls on its face. I have no mods done to this car as well as no CEL's. Both times the car was up to temp and about a half a tank of gas.

I'm thinking its a fuel issue?? Either injectors or maybe the pump?. . . . Any thoughts or ideas? Has anyone ever had or heard of a similar proplem? Under said rpm's, the car runs like a top.

Thanks

Hey all.

Right around 4k+ rpm in 2nd gear the car just falls on its face. I have no mods done to this car as well as no CEL's. the car was up to temp and about a half a tank of gas.

I'd remove the first two explanations, you'll get locked from those.
