Default Brown smoke

I went to the drag strip tonight and let me tell you I'm very disappointed! My car last year ran 7.98 in the 1/8 now the best time I could get was 8.64. The car acts like it has a miss but if you rev it up it stops! I changed plugs They were gas soaked ! It has a brown smoke out the exhaust and sounds like it has a rev limiter! ed wright did the programming with a mail order tune! Is the belt slipping making this happen! It acts like a car with the timing messed up. It has an ATI stock setup (have A&A kit in room waiting to install) With LPE GT2-3 cam and LPE heads, TPIS headers And cat back,

Mail order tune with a supercharger plus mods is not a good idea... I would call Andy and see what he thinks...

Similar set up with the same tune WITHOUT porblems here.

No idea what's wrong unless you're losing compression in a cylinder.

I do have better times though on street tires

Good luck! Originally from Welch, WV here.

I have had the car tuned 3 times! Seems it back like it was before the tune! the brown smoke freaks me out!! I'm going to try a new tune and change bracket this weekend to the A&A one ! I hope this helps! I know the belt is slipping because the boost gauge goes to 5 then to zero then it makes the popping sound !!
