I have been having an issue with my GT/CA car for about a year and can't seem to find the issue. It is a 84 Camaro 402/335 with TH400. You can see it in the video link below of the tach. It climbs to the stall speed of 6200, then falls to 5400 and then climbs again. In the video it blows thru 1st gear to 8000 (shift point was 7400) and then shifts at 8100 to third. I am getting 1.45-1.49 60ft times like this. It seems to come and go, it will go 1.32 60ft when it has worked (only 6 runs out of 70).

Don't know if this is tied to it but the car does not want to do a burnout at all. I have a 7600 chip for burnout and it will hit it in first gear but when I shift to second it slowly drops down below 6000 and will not climb back up.

I have tried 2 different trans, had converter back to ATI twice, tried three quadrajets, checked and added additional grounds, replace 7AL and checked kill switch.

I am out of ideas so thought someone on hear has had this problem in the past. Thanks for any help you can give!
