Question What caused this?

I had my boost dump solenoid disconnected and this still happened: die.mov (482 KB)

Looks like my boost guage was at about 7 - 8 psi before the launch...

Thoughts?

That seemed to totally drop out and kinda studder a bit too ?
Man on man you power brake the schitt out of that bad boy,
got to love a convertor
I leave on a dead idle , foot on the brake, til hammer time.

I see in your 12.3 run ( Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice BTW )
you do quite the John Force Burnout, could it have been
a low gas issue ?

Vid cut out so we didn't see more, did it run fine afterwards ?

It just totally died man. It did start right back up and runs fine. I also had a 1/4 tank of gas...

John Force rules!

Anyone else have input on this?

Sal? You have any idea what it could have been?

Although I haven't experienced it myself, I've heard others say with a 1/4 tank or less the fuel pickup can suck air during a hard launch. That'd be my guess.

I couldn't view your video(PC's not right?) but from what I'm reading, it's an internal chip problem. It's not a connection problem.

If your's shut down part of the way down the track and then would start right back up; that's what happened to me. Very scary with other vehicles at the 'tree', waiting to race.

If this is your problem, it won't happen with the chip pulled.
