Why is my trap speed so low??
So i went to the track last night after replacing my master cylinder to see if my sticking clutch problems would stop. My clutch definately has a better feel to it, but it still stuck to the ground after i pushed my clutch in after my run. I have a cammed camaro and i cant even break into the 12's. I had a 2.2 60 foot on my shitty sumitomos but my highest trap speed to date is 108.5. The car dynoed 376 rwhp 364 rwtq just a couple weeks ago when i had it tuned so i dont think its a power problem. Does this sound like a problem with my clutch?? I also have a CEL on for bad 02 sensors but i heard that doesnt affect anything at WOT.

DOT 4 clutch fluid, it doesnt stick under normal driving, but it will occasionaly if i slam through 2-4. I have not replaced the slave, thats what im thinking i need to do and i was just gonna get a new clutch while i was at it. Today i got on it in 1st gear and after the little pull, i smelt burnt clutch. So i guess it is my clutch going. I havent weighed my car yet, and dyno numbers are SAE corrected.
oh and the DA was pretty good that night

i have a feeling it has something to do with the pressure plate. While im driving and its in gear, i can pop it out of gear real easily without pushing on the clutch.. Does this sound like a pressure plate problem?

I would say more clutch than a pressure plate problem. But i would also replace your slave cylinder.

If your trying to take it out of gear without a load on the drivetrain it will come out easily, Basicly if your cruising and if you try to take it out of gear with a little pressure and your not on the throttle hard or slowing down it will go into N easy. I'd say replace the slave with an upgraded one thats adjustable and get it adjusted properly and see where you stand.
