Mike, One thing it could be is your secondaries are opening up too soon and flooding the engine. If you just floor the engine without the brake is there any hesitation while it spins up?
I once loosened the spring tension on my quadrajet so the secondaries opened up very early. The car engine stalled when I floored it. Too much gas. My Chevelle used to act like yours is when I did brake stands to smoke the tires. It would start off spinning the rear wheels with part throttle and when I floored it it bogged down but eventually overcame it and the rpm's increased. I never considered it a problem and never tried to figure it out. Back then my car ran pretty strong when I floored it without the brake, probably yours is the same. It gets to a point where you are working against the brakes, where the drive shaft cannot turn. If the drive shaft is not turning the trans output is not turning, yet the engine is spinning. The convert is letting that happen. When you get to a point where the converter says "no-more slipping allowed", the engine cannot spin faster anymore as everything is pent up by the brake being held. As you continue to push the gas perhaps the engine gets into a flooding situation? If your goal is to light up the back tires into a cloud, put a line lock in. If you want this for racing, only push the engine to the stall speed and don't floor it until you let off the brake. If you need to rev the engine higher for launch, get a higher stall converter. This may or may not be the case. Any other ideas?

Then if I do this and let go of the brake it will start off slow then pick up speed? what could be the problem. It doesn't sound like the convertor is slipping it sounds like the engine is? thanks mike ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
