    Strange but make sure you run with a full tank of gas . Both of my turbo cars broke up anything below half tank . It seemed like the tank wouldn't vent correctly mine would slam badly at times . And make sure your vaf is level . Also maybe take some pictures and someone might be able to see a problem . We have to get this car down to at least 14 . Anything you might need part wise let me know ill hook you up .
    I think your right on the gas level. The time I went to the track previously before yesterday it was only doing it in first gear where the initial shock is greatest and I was pretty low on gas yesterday since I didn't fill it since last time. And I have run a 14.3 before and I am getting better at launching.

    Also I think I've read on here that with the Walbro I should not let it get lower then half tank. I should have listened.

    Sounds like poor fuel delivery to me. Anytime it revs great under "no load". But then is sluggish & lacking power, but not having electrical spark "miss". Always look to your fuel system first. Start at the filter...... is it new? next Fuel press reg then fuel pump. Hope this helps-
    Filter is new, fuel press reg idk and the fuel pump is new.

        Well, it was indeed low gas. It was basically on empty at the end of the day at the track. I just filled it up to 3/4 and it runs like it should, what a simple fix.

        Face palm myself.
