    I'm almost ready to give up..I gave it an oil change, new PCV, Fuel Filter, Spark plugs(AC delco platinum), Fully Synthetic trans fluid and a shift kit( i read in a post your trans is suppose to shift at 5,700 and mine ran to redline..now it doesnt)best 60 ft. was 2.47 and best et was 16.359(both on same run). I rotated my bad tires to the back though since new ones are coming...and i spun twice.. once a 2.87 60' and another 2.58. I will replace my exhaust soon because the original one is bad anyway. I didnt change any O2 sensors. I have a trans temp guage i will have in next week and I think i will try some street slicks that I use to run on a vette jsut to make sure no more spins. So sick of this thing running bad. Thanks for all your help. I'm open to any more ideas anyone may have.

      Does anyone think the alternator could slow me down that much? I have a monitor, PS2, and stereo that i use on the road. nothing is on and the subs are removed when I race but is it possible that my alternators damaged and "pulls" harder because I usually use so much power.
