After literally thousands of dollars have gone into my car it still has issues. It seems like the word is out and every mechanic and tuner wants wants a piece of my bank account. I think it has been over worked now. Kinda like Michael Jackson and his plastic surgery. I don't know where to begin or what brand explosives to use. It's been in and out of shops for the last 2 years and still runs like crap. It dynos good but definately doesn't run good. I took it to an 1/8 mile track to finally see what it was made of. My 475 horsepower TA can only run a high 9. It ran high 7 with 100 hp less before all the butchering began. It stalls out halfway down the track for about 2-3 seconds. The rpm drop by several thousand rpm. It noses down so bad it's like I hit the brake an then it stands back up and hauls *** again....of course it's too late now...I just got passed. It only does it at WOT and will not do it on a DynoJet dyno. Am I running out of fuel? Is it in the tuning? Converter? I'm reaching out here. I have upgraded everything except the fuel pump. How can I tell if it is fuel related or something else?

It does not sound like a tranny issue to me. But, stranger things have happened.

The only real way to tell is to data log the event.

But, call me tomorrow. I am pretty close to you up in NRH. I might have some suggestions for you and don't mind discussiong it.

duct tape a fuel pressure gauge to your windshield and go give it hell. a friend to watch the gauge or road helps.lol tho i do it myself often. if the pressure checks out then ^^^this guy might be able to log some for you to check your tune out.

Based on your description I would have to say its not a trans/converter issue. But a running issue of some sort , Thats all that makes sense

sounds like it has a lean spot in the tune
