In neutral, car stalls under load.

[B-lackGSX99]

When I start the car, it starts fine. I keep it in neutral, have the e-brake up, and as soon as I release the clutch, the car stalls. What's up with that? I think my IC piping is leaking, so i'm checking it for leaks and putting on way stronger hose clamps (t-clamps). Any other ideas?

I have the same problem that you are describing. The only mods that my car has is a 9lb flywheel, ACT 2600 and a stainless clutch line. I park on a slightly downhill slope and can feel the car want to pull forward when I let the clutch out and the rev's drop for just a second and then usually recover (but sometimes it stalls). The light flywheel could be compounding my problem though. When my car is warmed up and been driven and I park it at home in the same spot I can't duplicate the problem until it cools off. I hope someone here can help with our plroblem.

I believe if you are running rich the car will tend to bog, but I could be mistaken. I have somewhat of the same problem, I have an act 2600/flywheel btw.

my car did something similar when my clutch engage switch went out

So I took the car into a performance shop and the guy gave it a good look over. He mentioned he noticed my safc readings were a bit bouncy and my wideband was fluctuating a bit more than it should have been. Next he checked out my spark plugs and noted that Satan had gapped them wrong...awful jackasses. So he re-gapped them properly (and painstakingly, I might add) and moved on to checking my battery terminals. I guess the terminal for my ground wire was extremely dirty/corroded, so he cleaned it all off, and the car runs a ton better! I totally didn't think that could really have that much of an effect, but there you go. We'll see if this continues though...who knows, might have been a coincidental thing right? But to the previous poster, I think he's right, I was probably getting hella fuel richness due to my 660's, 255lph fuel pump, and lack of fuel pressure regulator! thing was definitely bogging, as I could literally smell the gasoline coming out of the exhaust when i'd idle the car. . here piggy piggy. Anyways, I was also wondering if any of you guys experienced your car stalling sometimes when going around corners at slow speeds (coasting with the clutch in), say in a parking lot type situation. My car does that sometimes, I refuse to believe it's crank walk...but it seems you guys are all running ACT 2600's also, maybe this has something to do with it?? I sure do love the way you have to jam that thing down all the way to the floor...thinking of swapping out to a more street orientated clutch, but how can I sacrifice the way that thing engages...it can be breathtaking on the strip. With my cold-weather apt t-clamps holding my IC pipes together, I will be able to boost as desired ) very excited. I hoped to dyno the car, but the guy at this shop only has a 2 wheel dyno...you guys know of any way to make that work? Can I put the rear wheels up on jacks and strap the center diff? Or will I burn it out because it won't fully lock?? Definitely don't want to spool it out.

Buy a vce(vicious coupler eliminator), install into tranny in place of the vicious coupler, remove driveshaft, and tranfer case and it will then be front wheel drive. Takes about 30 minutes to swap in the vce with minimal tools and can be done by a novice.
