i think somethings clogged in the motor because the first pass and every pass off the trailor is always in the 12"s and then it gets slower and slower then it will start to get faster after about 2 or 3 passes. im lost here i have no idea what the hell to do with the car here. the car is having a hard time picking up its mph after the first pass. i have mt slicks 15# air on the 10 bolt . with 4.10 gears and the car cut a 1.85 60ft as the fastest still to this day but it cuts in 1.87,1.88,1.89,1.92,1.95,1.97 1.99 60 ft. with stockish stall in the car. heres the weird thing is i can break stall it to 2500rpms and it will cut 1.9s but if i stall it at 1500-1700 rpms the car cuts 1.8 60s. i dont know where my 60ft should be but i was thinking isn't 1.8 1.9 alil slow for a slick 4.10 gear car or is that about right?


ok i just changed my oil 2 weeks ago and i went to the track made acoulpe passes and car ran 12:900 @ 105, 13:051@105, 13.366@ 102,right after this run is when the milky oil **** started to show up in the oil, it wasn't on the oil stick it was on the cap where you put the oil in it was all milky. then it ran 13:210@ 101, 13:208@ 101mph.

im going to change the oil but could something be clogged? everytime i take the car out it runs in the 12:80-90's right off the trailer then it slows down then it will start to get faster. its a bitch to try and dial the car in when one pass it goes in the 12's then next in the 13's. anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem?

oh yeah i forgot the oil i use is pennzoil 10w30 and k&n filter.

I Have Seen Pennzoil Sludge Motors Up. Something In The Oil.

but would the oil make me go slower after the first pass and then i would start getting faster after the second or third pass?

my car goes 12:90's first pass off the trailer then second pass 13:30's and then it will pick up till im around 13 flat its like its lossing power after the first pass and then it trys to catch up to what the first pass was.

I think I know why your 60'ft change with higher RPM, Mine does the same thing I have a Th-400 with a 3200 stall I put mine up to 2500 it does like 1.7's 60'ft if I put it to 1600 it does 1.66'. Some converters like to be flashed at a lower RPM and some have a higher flash. I am guessing most stock ones are low rpm flash. Which is what mine is. For the car going slower not to sure about that.But good luck finding out what it is

how hot is it there. in texas car slow down hotter it get but i do think that would be the problem. when i had stock converter i stalled it to 1800 and cut good times. try that.

saturday when i had it at the track it was 60 at noon but i made 2 passes in the morning both at 54 degress and first pass it went 12:90 and second 13:05, then around 1 it was 60 it went 13:36. after it gets in the 13:30s it will get quicker again even in the heat of the day, thats what i cant figure out because two weeks ago it went 12:91 off the trailer at 11am then 12pm 13:46 then 1:30ish it went 13:32 and it keep going down a hundredth every pass till 13:02 at 5pm. im putting my cam in tomorrow and i will get to make acoulpe passes on saturday and sunday before the track closes for the year so im hoping to see low 12s with fm-14.

I love them for the track, I had a six speed before that and I broke like 3 10 bolts 2 driveshafts and 2 sets of axles. But for the street I wish I had my six speed. My best 60' before was a 1.86 slipping the cluth because of the rear breaking, and now changing to a TH-400 it is a 1.66 I wanted like high 1.5's but I need a bigger converter.
