Are you saying your car went into 2nd gear, then lockup at WOT? Is this the first time its done this? When my tranny first went out a few years ago i was at the track, it felt good in 1st gear, then when it shifted in to 2nd it felt like it was loosing power, but it still had tq management at the time and i think since the 2nd gear band was slipping the computer was cutting engine power to help save to poor thing, is your fluid clean and pink?

I'm certain your injectors are way past there limit. I don't know if that's the reason for your problem ,but rid of those stockers ASAP!

tuner should know what the injectors duty cycle is at. That should have been addressed while tuning. Can you post the tune?

i have heard of others having some issues with that guys tuning. One person in particular that had lots of problems and a dog *** slow camm'd car but had a dyno sheet that said 430 HP. I personally met the guy and he seemed very nice and professional, and seemed easy to get along with. I also had my own tuner with me the day of the dyno.

check your duty cycle on your injectors. with a 228 / 230 cam and a Vig 4000 i was at 97% duty cycle. Not saying its THE problem. But i'm quite certain it needs to be addressed

Default went to the track again

my tuner couldnt find anything wrong with it he dynoed it 3 times in a row and it put down 432 every time....I took it to the new track in crandal TX awsome track btw... i put a full tank of gas in it and it ran good my best out of 3 runs was 7.6 @89mph in the 1/8 and 12.0 1/4 @110mph with a crappy 1.69 60ft leaving @ 3000 rpm i was hopeing to be a little faster but im just glad the thing made it down the track without a problem.
