Loss of power.

[mr 347]

I was driving my stock 500 yesterday, and I was on it. Right around 5500-6000 rpm, I shifted to second, and stayed in it. The car fell flat on its head. it was still accelerating, but felt like it lost 200 HP. I stayed on it, and after a few seconds, it grabbed, and took off. Any Ideas on what could have caused this? Thank you

Maybe the bypass valve got stuck open? After shifting, could you still hear the supercharger whine under acceleration?

You know I dont know. what would Belt slip feel like?

Wheel spin? What kind of tires are you running?

Traction control on or off?????

Could be your clutch slipping. Just a guess.

Was it cutting/chopping up any? Could you feel it get rough?

If so I'd look at spark and fuel.

If you hit the limiter it kills timing and takes a few seconds to return.

Good Ideas, Thank you. Im betting traction control, or possibly hitting the limiter. But then again, I might have heard the limiter....

The car stayed smooth all the way through.

If you hit the llimiter you will know it. Kills power right now.

does the pulley have a lot of dust around it? how old is the belt? (age and mileage)

If you hit the llimiter you will know it. Kills power right now.

that and it a noticeable and unique sound
