Can you define "flat-spot"?? Do you mean the car "feels" like it's not accelerating at all?? And at which RPM do you feel this?? From all the DOHC V8s I have driven, it seems that the engine is "flat" from idle to about 1500rpm, and starts to push around 2k, and jumps at around 3000 - 3500 all the way up to redline....
