i took my car to the track tonight and it was running bad... i would start my burnout then it would just seem like the rpms would drop to 2k during the burnout for no reason....... then i took my pass and it accelerated like junk and was just noit running as hard as it should.... lat week i ran a 14.0 at 101mph this week i ran a 14.0 at 99mph..... wats going on?? i think it may be tranny related but i am not sure and ideas???

tony

 

sounds possibly tranny related. do you have 95.5k on your original tranny?

 

96k on org tranny yes.... i chcked the tranny fluid and it smelled like it was burning up a lil... think maybe a tranny flush and a tranny cooler may help?

 

A tranny flush may make the tranny go, if it's already on its way out. I don't know how the transmission would bring the rpm's down to 2500 and cause it to accelerate like junk. If it were slipping or not shifting correctly, I'd think you'd know it. Also, running 14.0 @ 101 one week and running 14.0 @ 99 another doesn't really help diagnose anything. Weather can make that much of a difference.

 

Umm were you running ET Street Radials last week as apposed to last night? 2mph difference and the same ET is not something to really be worried about. Because if not it is very possible that since your car is pretty stockish you slowed the car down on the big end with them but you 60'd better resulting in the same ET and slower mph.

 

Either way you look at it 2mph is nothing big to worry about especially on two different nights.

 

With the mods you have you should be running in the mid 13's. Even without a converter and upgraded gears you should be trapping over 101mph. If nothing is wrong with the tranny I would start doing some data logging.

 

data logging? like keeping track of times etc or running the pcm and checking for codes?

 

more help please!!!??? im desperate
