Thread: Engine stumbles out of slow speed turns

Posi rear end too tight and pulling engine down in turn

I'm thinking along the same lines as Jerry, something is lugging the car down and it is working too hard to overcome that drag. You say you have a 5 speed, what gear ratio in the back? The point I am trying to make is that if you have ever driven a stickshift where you didn't downshift far enough making a turn it will act like what you are describing or even buck. A hot cam will accentuate that even more. In my 27, even with 4:30's and in low gear, it bucks going through parking lots sometimes because of the somewhat radical cam. You could be experiencing something similar.
