Problem with car losing all bottom end after 3mins. Here's my story of events that lead to this happening, and might include some hints as to the problem. Its a little long i know, and would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Uhm.... many things come to mine mind. Check in this order:

- Too lean low-end (if you need your car get out snappy of the turns, get this with gearing, not with too lean low-end). Overheats the engine. Just open 1/8 the low-end and see if improves. Check too the clutch bell endplay, probably you have too much and you're overheating the shoe.
- Losing compression on the P/S. Piston get worn and with high temps, sleeve gets loose losing low-end (strange, you didn't told anything about a bitch to carb engine). Check with a new P/S.
