If someone recently rebuilt the rear end and used SUPER DUTY clutches they might be causing your problem. I have been told that using a clutch set that has super strong springs or shimming them thinking that it will improve grip will not let the inside tire slip as it needs to.
Sounds like a torque converter problem. My 200r4 runs very cool (160-180). If the converter never locks up, it just slips. There are many lock-up switch configurations available. The problem is magnified if you’re running a non-lockup, high stall converter. Also the TVS cable MUST be adjusted...

Sounds like the advance plate is hanging up or the weights or stops are wrong. I personally don’t like HEI or Proform. I use MSD Billet distributors with the box. They are easy to tune. The springs don’t control how much advance you get. They control how quick you get it. I set mine up for “all...

I never play games with the "is it a real??". I tell them straight up that mine is not. I don't have to lean on having a "real" anything because judging from the attention the car gets, I have a "real" nice car. I like modified cars to improve performance and drivability. Most of these cars in...
