While waiting for a light to change on a 4-lane, an 18 wheeler made a right turn in front of me and a new Charger. When the light changed, we both went for the hole shot around the truck. Normally this is never even close on my 11SF but today as the tach hit 5 grand, I momentarily lost two cylinders. I still made the hole shot with plenty of room. I played with different rpms and I would drop the cylinders at five grand. I knew right off what was up so I took it easy back home. Tonight I will hunt down the pick up wire break(s) and make needed repairs.
