Default Apparently i'm running on 7.5 cyclinders.

Well I went to the dyno yesterday... first thing the guy said was it sounds like your car has a miss in it. The base tune with crappy a/f was tuned at 375rwhp. First pull, i layed down 327rwhp. (No wonder 5 mph trap speed lost from last year, haha). We flatlined teh A/F out but it still only managed 350rwhp.

I'm not getting any check engine lights... but he think's i'm just getting a **** ton of blow by in one cylyinder. So ****... might be rebuilding the engine... I planned on spending about 1500 on the suspension within the next month, now i'm not sure what to do.

Do you have a forged bottom end? If not, time for a forged bottom end!

Did you do a compression test?

Check your plugs first! My s/c blew my car up and it still ran. It just had a bad miss and no check engine light. We pulled the sprak plugs out and four of them where demolished by detonation. It was allready to late though.
