Is it a 94 or 91?

with the 94 you can’t hook up but with the 91 you can’t spin them up?

To be helpful, I think the OP is talking about this product from Soler:

SE8223-040, 87 MM (91 MM EFF.) LT1 / LT2 / L86 / L87 / L96 / L83

Are you sure you are in launch mode? Tach goes to 3500 or so?
Be sure break pedal is firmly down. Gas Pedal all the way to the floor.

I have had Soler do my throttle body, nothing but great.

There's really no need to keep responding to this thread as the original poster is never going to come back and give us any information we need.

thanks Colorado. I did not mean to **** anyone off. I’m not good at posting. I made. Many launchers and am very good at getting good per times even though the pdr is said to be off. I have been racing for many years. I was just posting to see if anyone else had bad tracks on problems after installing ported intake and 87 throttle body ported out to 91 by solar using a brand new throttle body.
