Clutch slippage in high gear would definitely explain your mph dropping off so much over your last series of passes. Glad you found it!

Now the question is do I repair this and keep going with the 4 speed, or do I go to an automatic that can handle the power? ( for reference i stripped the third gear cluster on the street earlier this year. )
This is a street car, but 12.00s doesnt do it for me, and i want to go quicker. I can add nitrous to the motor, but the 4 speed probably wont live for long behind that.
A 727 with a trans brake, and a big stall with a bunch of goodies in the trans would also help the car be quicker. I could also sell the a body 18 spline for some $$$ to offset part of the cost for the new auto. I guess the real question that needs to be determined is, how much faster do you want to go, Because a T-brake may not be needed
71 demon stock stroke 440/indy ez-1 running 10.10 @ 132.14 mph in the 1/4 and 6.36 @ 107.46 mph in the 1/8 not in the same weekend but It did it then I sold it.
