Chain of events: car runs 11.1-11.27 @ 122, 1.57-1.62 60' late fall after updated tune, 6pt. rollbar installed (offset 90# by race seat, deleting rear seat, BMR K-member, A-arms & radiator support delete), the next spring run car on street for a month with no issues, then early spring 4 passes @ 1/4 mile track 11.3-11.4 @122, mid 1.6 60', no issues. Return from track & don't drive car for a week due to weather. Braille race battery is now dead, charge & put OEM battery in. Now car has lost touchy throttle response & giving it same throttle the car feels like it's spinning, doesn't get up & go, like before.
Things done to try & resolve issue:
Reload tune, loaded old tune (before there was a noticeable power/throttle difference-now very little difference), recalibrated gas pedal, clean MAF & throttle body, replaced fuel filter & air filter, no thrown codes, replaced OEM differential with Detroit Trutrac, differential cover & new 3:73's, tested TPS(throttle position sensor)=within specs of 1.19-1.31, new spark plugs, changed S/C belt & upgraded to Thumprr tensioner, Compression test(all within 10%), Cylinder Leak Down Test(cylinder #5 was at 13%-slight leak past seal, all others 2-8%), Seafoam in gas tank.
Installed Performance Automatic 5R55S(has upgraded bands, clutches & hardened input shaft), 3-3,200 Circle D converter, Shaftmasters D/S, new Whipple CAI filter. Car now runs 11.35-11.4 low 1.6 60's (15 passes total- 3 separate days), no improvement in times? Car dynoed @ 460hp/431tq
What should be tried now?
