Why don't you rephrase the question using rpm and gear position or percent
of full load. 95 to 120 mph is pretty meaningless as it has nothing to do
with airflow. next do yourself a favor and buy an A/F ratio meter they are
$350 for a wide band with sensor.. Yes if the ignition is ok at WOT it
probably has enough energy but that says nothing about the advace curve. BTW
the engine will stumble if it is too rich as well. Generally too lean it
will feel like it is nosing over. Find out if it is RPM related or load
realted there are probably many ways to get to 120 mph..
