Hey guys, can any one help? I have a 92 lx mostly stock with the following mods, pullies, bbk equel length headers, american thunder 2 chambers, king cobra clutch and a H pipe. When I get on the car it pulls pretty strong but when I power shift the car it bogs in second gear, it wont even chirp the tires. The car has 90K on it and when I bought it last month it was bone stock. Any help you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated.

my car chirps second, but should chirp a lot harder. sounds like we have the same problem. i know that my rear coil springs are pretty much shot so i'll be replacing those soon. have u taken a look at ur rear suspension lately?

i think it just all depends on what kind of traction you're getting. I prefer my tires to not spin, which is why i just put on drag radials, got tired of stepping on it, and spinning all over the place

Guys when I shift into second the car bogs, it loses power, then it starts accelerating.
