I will be handing over my Z to the serivce center for a checkup and will ask them to check alignment and tires.
Based on few runs last night with AZ everything seems fine he said other than stock tires really suck and should be replaced
Im looking into changing tires for now or mabye getting new wheels and tires..

it makes sense that you are losing traction at 4k and on up. our power band REALLY comes alive right around 4.5k and pulls hard until 6. i've noticed this the last week or so. def get rid of the stock tires man. they suck. if you REALLY want some traction, get Nitto 555R's. i'm not sure how they fare on Z's, but my buddy got them for his 97 trans am, and it dropped his 60 foot time by .3 seconds. i'd say, def nice improvement.
