Haha, exactly. When I first built my 302 I thought wow, this thing has *****. Yep... 1 summer later took it to the track, ran low 14's, then the 302 quickly came out.

and now you have a 408, and learned something very important, the hard way...

OP, give us a full break down of what mods you have done, and how many miles the car is. Remember that we can only suggest fixes based off your information.

my suggestion would be to actually USE the "go" pedal...
