71 Duster 360 (new project)

Well..We stunk up the place at the Bracket Finals....lol
got out there Thursday morning after a whopping 3 hrs of sleep for the tnt...due to school daughter did not get there till after noon...I fired up the car...drove it to the top end warmed up everything, stopped put it in the 1st gear...engaged Transbrake, floored it...2 step working great at 3200 rpm...with 3200 chip....checked it 3 times...worked ...

Daughter does burn out...car sounds great...stages...up on 2 step...releases the button and the car walks off the starting ......putts down the track..she stop just pass the finish line...gets towed back to pits...we suspect trans or converter...sound like it was slipping going down the track....

pull dipstick...full of fluid...smell fluid..smell ok...we go to put it on the trailer..she fires it up and it backs up and goes forward with no problem...i say wait a minute....let it cool off since we have a couple of hours between passes....check a few things...she drives it to the top end...trans works fine..

so..back in line again....burn out great...engages brake ..on 2 step....walks off the starting line.....this time she tells me...with her foot to the floor ..the engine will not go above 3200 rpm....one thing i noticed...during burn out there is a 6000 rpm chip and usually she bangs the 6000 chip during the burnout...and it was not doing it...

We no longer using the rotary rpm module for the starting line just a 3200 chip in 3 step module....same 3 step module as in bakersfield....well...no more runs available for TNT,,,as they go into gamblers race...which we were going to enter......but not with a 16.50 et slip....lol

Decision time for tomorrow...and you wil only get two passes on Friday....
