Car is falling on it's face out of the hole
 

don't really know what the problem is but every time i launch my car falls on it's face, it doesn't start picking up power until after 3 grand. i think that one of my probs is the stock 3.42s i have a set of 4.10s that i will put in if i ever get off my lazy ass :zzz: . just lookin for suggestions... thanks!!!

What kind of car ??
Mods ??
Tranny ??
Help us out a little here and we'll see what we can do for you.....

maybe a slipping clutch?

Is the problem new, or just something that's been bugging you for awhile? :huh:

2000 camaro ss, flp's ported throtle body, fast toys ram air, loud mouth, ported mass air.

get some nittos and do a 4000 launch i promise it wont fall on its face;)

I've heard that porting the TB and the MAF can cause drivability issues....expecially at low-rpms.

Has the car been tuned at all ???

Find a stock MAF

from what ive read the stock maf is good for 500ish hp and you should have your tuner recomend one for your application and tune it, otherwise it'll do more harm then good.


but if u really want us to help figure out the problem u have to go into more detail.

Sounds like a slipping clutch or transmission!!!!

What transmission? Was this at the track? What tires?

i don't have a stock tune
 

i have hp tuners, we put it on the lab top on it and added 2 degrees in the mid range and 1 degree on top end and upped my red line to 6500 it seemed to help it a bit but i think that my major prob is the clutch and the stock 3.42s. it was starting to piss me off a bit but i'm not really worried about it now, i about a month or so i'm putting a tsp head and cam package on so the stock clutch isn't really going to hold up anyways so i'll prob go with a spec/ aluminium flywheel setup anyways.. but thanks man

Did the car hook and bog? If the clutch was slipping it wont cause it to bog. If so then it is definately not the clutch(although the stocker will not hold up for long)
The only way around the Bog is to launce at a higher RPM. The stock clutch, much less the 10bolt, will not hold up to this.
If you are building this car for an occasional trip to the drag strip I would reccomend the Steel flywheel. It will help to store energy and not bog as bad when you launch as well.

my stock clutch and stock 3.42 10 bolt lasted for around 30 runs droping the clutch at 4000 with nittos and the 10 bolt is still together and the stock cluch was still pretty good when i put the spec 3 in

now droping the cluch with a spec 3 with etstreets is not recomended haha

I think it is something in the tune, take it to a dyno and tune on it before I pop $200 bucks or more for a set gears.

I killed my 10bolt riding the clutch out on nittos n stock motor.

i pulled mid 1.8s with no problem
goes to show how not all cars are created equal

but you will never know untill you try

i did alot of second gear burnouts and 4000 dead hooking clutch dumps its wines a lil but it did that since new
