Car Cuts Out Hows it going, its been a while since I posted but I need some help. Alright I took the car to the track with a brand new set of Nitto 315's and for some reason when I would dead hook it would go about 5 feet and like shut off and right away come back it was crazy. All the gauges would go black and within a second it was like someone restarted it. It only does it when it dead hooks, if I half throttle out the hole then wide open it runs perfect. Any ideas???

Buy a battery strap at Year One to solve the problem.
