Car still craping out at high RPM but car still runs consistant, Can't figure it
out. I ran three runs 13.022, 13.024, 13.022 in a row and then spun the next run and ran 13.17 I put the street tires back on to load it on the trailer and went 1 more time. Drove it out easy spining a little hit the floor about the end of first 2nd spun bad but still ran 13.33 at 105.
I need to figure this car out maybe a bad plug haven't change those yet. Oh and Ellis the MSD made it idle better but still misses top end.

That's pretty strange Bill. Nice times for dialing in, but not what you wanted. I assume when you installed the MSD you replaced the plug wires? How old are your injectors? Maybe a loose rocker / bent pushrod? I'm searching the database.....oooh, I got it.

I had the same problem with one of my LT1's some bolts came out of the timing chain.
So high up it was missing.
What car is this? The Camaro?

I was out there with GTOMO and hanging watching the racing. I don't remember seeing any Vette's out there.

What kind of Vette do you drive? Or is that just a screen name?

Sorry it took so long to get back on line.
I was driving the red camaro running in lane 5 and 6 with slicks on. Mark I think you found the problem. I rebuilt the motor but never change the muffler bearings. I did put new plugs and wires in with the new motor. It acts like one hole is a little weak and miss firing under a load. I have over 8k now on the motor and driving it to work and back every day it runs great. I did replace the fuel filter and I hope the cam bolts are tight. I would like to fix this so I can put the headers on my Vette before racing really starts. Oh and Russ it was nice talking to you to you have real nice GTO there. When it warms up you will be deep into the 11s hell even I spun the tires and never happens.
