Too high compression can cause this. Warped head maybe?

Stock engine!!! 9.0-1 compression!! 220,000 miles on motor though could be the problem!

Agreed! No way. People spend 10 grand or more for power like that. Are you sure about the HP?

RE: Having problems with head gaskets!!!

well... 93 cobra motor is different. You have heads, cam, intake, etc. But I still find that to be ALOT of power.. especially on 6 psi. Im not doubting you but I would like to see the sheet if you have it. Also, are you sure that was RWHP? And what kind of dyno was it on?

A cobra motor still only makes MAX 260 horsepower (they say they were underrated) so if it makes that around 230rwhp (approx)... thats still 220rwhp on 6psi....
