Perhaps its timing - perhaps its air, perhaps its fuel/fuel supply, perhaps its springs, perhaps its - well - anything.
This is where an expert is good and not just guessing.

ok basically the engine is 197,000kms old. new head gasket about 5000kms ago. cant see the valve springs being bad. they are the tickford jobs. the electrical system wouldnt surprise me as it idled like sh*t till i got new leads and that cleaned it up a bit. i will getting a new coil, dizzy cap and rotor button soon. i really need my AFRs messed with i think. hopefully the avg zorst that came with it isnt strangling it.

Its obvious whats wrong with your curve, you simply don't have enuff power:P
Sorry derb....  I'd suspect mixtures or igniton breakdown... when was the last time the plugs were changed? plug leads? coil? Bish

apparently, and i say apparently, there was a hi flo cat put on when the zorst was done by the previous owner. and since its pretty bodgy i cant take it off to look in cos its welded. on the road it feels like the curve exactly. lovely till about 3500 and you can feel it struggling to push out the last 1500. even the engine sond changes from throaty roar to someone trying to push out a big dump [sorry couldnt think of any other way to describe it].

first check things that dont cost much, check fuel pressure, rev it up about where it starts to strugle put your hand near the back of the exhaust and feel the flow comming out, check timing. the way that looks to me either the exaust is blocked or its running out of fuel..
