PPF broken! Could it be the cause of car bogging on the launch?

Well, guys

Over the past few weeks i coulnt figure out for the life of me why everytime i go to race the car, i keep bogging my launch and losing the race because of it. I tryed so many different styles of launching the car, i tryed slipping the clutch, i tryed dumping the clutch, i tried bringing the revs up more, i tryed bringing them down more. I tryed everything. I thought, maybe i just lost my ability to launch the car.

I am running bfg drag radials, a kaaz diff, and a diff brace. I usually try to launch the car at 5k and it usually spins just a little bit then hooks really good. Now all it does is wheel hops slightly then bogs. I never had this problem before. I just got the car up in the air and now i find that my powerplant frame is completely cracked. Could this be the cause of my problem?

On another note, im looking for a power plant frame (ppf) for the car so feel free to pm me if you got one in good condition that your willing to sell?

Yes, that definitly is your problem. You might want to also check your two Diff bushings.

Also, can you tell me exactly where the crack was on the PPF? I'm trying to see if they all crack at the same spot...
