Stumbling at the starting light !!!
I went to the track today. My first trial run was a good run .31 reaction time 60' ... 1.76 and 1/8mile 8.22@ 84mph. Everything seems to be fine. On my second pass, the car stumbled when I launched from the starting light and it continue to do this for the next 3 passes. I was able to let the car engine cool down to 160-170 degrees before making each run. I drove to the track 30 miles and back home 30 mile with no problem. Has anyone had this problem? What should I be looking for to fix the problem. I've already looked at the vacum lines, and adjusted the fuel regulator from 43 to 36psi. I lost on this one

Thanlks Agent 86... that does explain why it never stumble during my 1st or 2nd pass during time trials. I thought by keeping my fuel down below a 1/4 tank would help improve my times. I'll start out with 3/8 to 1/2 and see how that will do. Thank for the info.
