   Very hard to diagnose a fault with the info you have given mate. Is it a misfire under load?

   before you spend money on diagnostics (that seems to be evryones answer to every problem these days!), have you checked the basics? plugs,fuel filter,etc can cause this sort of problem

   is it dieing out on revs ?
   
   if u can red line in first then its not ur spark plug as there under most stain at 6k+
   
   fueling maybe?
