FPR, LT headers, O/R X-pipe, Flowmaster 1-chambers dumped, and what should i run in the 1/4 mile. Just incase you didnt get it before it is a vert and a automatic. Thanks for the help.

I'd be surprised if you were breaking the 200HP mark. Just out of curiousity, why get the larger MAF and TB before doing other things like heads, camshaft, etc?

As far as compression. I wouldn't worry about the numbes just yet. For now, just check all 8 cylinders and see if they are all relatively close to each other. if you have one that is way off (or two next to each other that are way off) then you know where your problem is.

compression numbers for each cylinder should be within 10percent or less from one cylinder to another, HP for the car will likely be 200 or just under.
