Im having a problem with the car dying on the line.
This has only happened 2 times this year.
When i bring up the motor on the 2 step, it hits it a few times and the motor dies instantly. This is before i release the button .
After that i put in park and the car starts right up.
So then i just footbrake it and the car runs fine.
Has anyone had this happen?
its a msd soft touch + 2 step + chrome box

So it dies after you go to WOT? What rpm do you have the 2 step at? I know my car doesnt like being on the 2 step at WOT under 3000rpm.After the pump shot is used up there isn't enough signal to pull the fuel out of the bowls. Could this be what is happening?
its at 3000 , yes at wot. right at the 1st bulb.
is it possible its just running out of fuel ???

I've ran a +.030 340, a +.030 360 and currently run a 4.040-3.790 388, and I've left with all of them from 2100 to 3000. FYI.
It depends on the setup. For example if it's overcarbed, it will be more likely this could happen. Your results may vary!
3310 to 8896, and several in between.

The ecclerarator pumps don't really matter on t brake car, on launch .
Unless you are bogging going into full throttle .
Raise fuel bowls up some might be running low on WOT .
Also try not getting into 2step as long or wait as if tree is coming down .
In a bracket handicap 4sec is a loooonggggggg time to be on brake .
Good luck .DR
