Default 97 Bonneville Chuging

I have a 97 Bonneville 3.8 Supercharge. I have been slowly losing the effect
of the supercharger for awhile now but today I felt something different. At
about 4000 RPMs it feels like a governor is coming on. On the highway at
highway speeds it just chugs along. The fuel pressure is fine when it is
hesitating. The air filter has just been replaced, and it doesn't appear to
be an ignition problem. It seems as if there is too much fuel at high RPMs.
Can anyone help? I'm not sure what to do next.

Thanks in advance

Steve

I know sometimes they will do this somewhere between 180 and 210
kilometres per hour, I am not very happy about that, 210km/h should be
near 4000r/min in 4th gear I would think...

At 4000 RPM there isn't much torque left to make its feel alive. Mine does
the same although I don't think I ever had rev engine that high. Try car
with turbo, it will be opposite what you are experiencing today. Slow in
take off and better at high speed.
