I drive thru town and its a beast but when I get on the highway it bogg's down I cant give it no gas almost feels like it shuts down at 75mph, I hit 75 and it shuts down and picks right back up till 75 then same thing ....some say its your fuel filter , Im like no i would know that, some say computer I still question that , Also my timing!! Would that have anything to do with this problem ?

Obviously the tach is wrong because 5500 would be close to 140mph I would think. Could be a fuel problem,pump not putting out enough or clogged filter
