funny smell from car

[zayzay]

my car is modified. since my modifications, quite often i notice that in 3rd gear the car revs and seems like all the power is not going to the rear wheels. when this happens, it leaves a funny smell from the bonnet of the car, smells like rubber is burning. it does not throw any codes. could this be the clutch? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a clutch that is slipping...

How about you give us an idea of what mods you have done...

Which Cobb map are you using and what is the horsepower now

[zayzay]

i am running a ptf tune. i dynoed at 420 to the wheels and 500 ft lb of torque on a dynocom dyno.

tha is what is happening to me, the rev climbs quickly in 3rd gear and sometimes in 2nd with not much speed.

...and you did not even suspect that it should be the (assuming still OE) clutch? Many parts of your car have not been designed for that kind of power, clutch being among the most obvious.

I advise you to have a chat with someone like Harold from HP Autowerks regarding what else you should mod in the car to cope with this new power and make it more driveable and enjoyable.
