It was on the motor all night long....period!

There is no bottle installed on this car yet.

And anyone who wants to call me out on that you see my address in my sig you all are more than welcome to come by and take a detailed look at the vehicle.

Yes the car got progressivly better through the night we still arent where the car use to be with my old setup. Going to my current setup has givin me nothing but problems.

Will we find where the problem is hiding I promise you.

The intake is why I might be down a couple ticks on power...but thats not the traction issue.

You saw the vehicle speed graph didnt you?

You can see where the vehicle speed just levels off for a long period of time....which tells us its spinning.

Maybe but being doing this for along time it just doesnt feel like clutch slip to me.

Plus its only in first gear....bang second (when it actually goes in) it hooks and the vehicle speed starts to take a steady up ward climb

Plus its a ceramic puc style so I am really rulling clutch slip out.

I'm not trying to get in a pissing match here or anything, just trying to be a little helpful.....

Just to let you know I've been doing this for 25 years, That being said I do think I know what tire spin looks like.....

If you don't think it's the clutch slipping you might to look a little closer at the tune or possibly the component match up you have..... I know from past experience that efi foxes with factory computers and sticks can be a real pain to get right, alot of the time they will go flat or sometimes even bog when they hit the tires leaving in 1st.....

I personally have had a couple stick foxes that would bog and loose a couple tenths in the sixty foot time alone if they dead hooked..... It just seemed like a turn or 2 of the tires when leaving and they would really run.....

I'm done here now, Good luck with it and best of luck with getting it ironed out.....

No that was the last run of the nite. And yes the short time came back to me. But I fuckin missed 2nd that run. And that was my fault as a driver. So laugh all you want. Plus that had a lot of timing pulled on the launch. So nice try buddy.
