Default Car won't shift @ the track?

I don't know, I am running a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch, and for some reason it won't go into gear. I am running n2o and making 529rwhp and 589rwtq, is this too much power for the clutch? or is there a way to adjust the cluch? I'm not sure.

It will go into gear fine in normal driving but will not go in at WOT... lemme know, thanks...

Always been this way? Just start not going into gear at WOT? It could be your shift timing. Perhaps you're trying too hard. Ease up and it may go into gear easier. Of course, your hydraulics could be spongy and not acting quick enough.

Have you done the drill out mod on the slave line?

This is extremely important for the 3-4 shift as the stock line has a restriction in it.

My friends 98 WS6 did the same thing to him through 4 runs at Thompson DragRaceway in Ohio last Sunday, same thing he doesn't have the drill out mod. However on the street he never has the issue; the track is totally different.

This past Sunday? If so, man a ton of cars broke down that day. At least you drove home! Another friend broke his axle on burnout, closed the track for 20 minutes cleaning that up.

ya, this past Sunday for the Pistons rental... I left early, but I could've won the "best reaction time" trophy, I had a .503 and a .504, someone from my carclub won it though with a .509, so it was still cool... we got the "fastest club car" and "club participation" trophy too, I'm in the Hollywood Knights

Maybe you seen me there missing every gear... Red T/A WS6 hood, Z06 wheels, plate reads SVT THIS

Yep, Rick had just put 4:56 gears in the night before; the track was the break in.

He's got the rear end back together now, he was supposed to go to Dragway 42 last night but the rain cancelled all activities.

Back to you, do you have the drill out mod done?

I just figured this out, your car was at GMRSpeed getting tuned by Steve 3 weeks ago. My car is there now, a Pewter TransAm. You have the nitrous and wild looking cutout exhaust. First run on the dyno your car showed 14:1, a tad lean. Then Steve got you dialed in.
