A couple of things...

People kept hollering at me to turn off my traction control when I did burn-outs.

Traction control was off.

A video showed the right tire spinning and blowing smoke, while the left just sat there doing nothing. Traction control was off.

The patch laid down when I did a high rev start with street tires was very black on the right side and could hardly be seen on the left side. Traction control was off.

When we took the clutch packs apart, there was absolutely no sign of wear in either. So, we assume that it just wasn't hooking up, or the Royal Purple fluid was TO slippery, and rebuilt the packs with an extra friction plate and put the stock fluid back in the pumpkin. The car now lays down two equal strips of rubber, and FEELS much stronger in the launch. I just need to get it to the track and confirm she is running as strong as she feels.

I hope everything turns out in your favor Ken. Sounds to me like ya got the problem nailed!!

Well, it would appear that the weather gods are conspiring to keep me from finding out! Friday is the last day the little 1/8 track in Dallas is open. They are calling for up to 2" of ice tomorrow and tomorrow night here. I HOPE it will all be gone and I can at least test the Snake a few times Friday evening to make sure everything is as it should be. I would REALLY like to see some 1.8x 60' times and some VERY low 8's in the 1/8! Then I would know she was ready for spring drag day!

I wish ya the best of luck Ken. Those numbers would be very very respectable for a street machine. Dang good for anything really.

I'll let ya know as soon as I find out for sure.

Right now, it is NOT looking good for Friday night!

Please do. I too am going nuts not having the beast running to it's potential (or not at all in my case).
