S/C718No response when ripping the throttle
Has anyone had an issue with no response when ripping your throttle. When I rip the throttle in my dragster it has no response. I never had this happen. I put a new 9-degree motor and converter this season. I thought maybe it was my throtle bracket or SLE so I changed them but still same issue. There have been a few occasions where it will respond and the throttle rips.
Any help is appreciated.

GoobDo you mean that the engine actually does not respond, or you just aren't seeing it on the ET / MPH?
1st thought would be a binding throttle cable / linkage.
Spragless converter?

JoneszSLE enhancer needs more PSI. Your extending the cylinder with rapid whacks

CURTIS REEDYeah, don't whack your cylinder so rapidly.

S/C718I didn't even think of that. Makes a lot of sense.

moparacerYep what everyone else said. I run mine at 80 psi. The stiffer the throttle return spring the higher you will need the PSI.

Rodney PryorWhat carb?
We’ve had this issue before and had to send the carb back to the builder for an adjustment and it’s been perfect ever since.
