    Engine won't take more than 10# of boost after rebuild. Need ideas please.

    It has an alky kit. The kit is turned off right now because the boost is only set at 15#. I will have the shop check some of these things you listed over the next few days and I will let you guys know. The up pipe is secure and has the good clamps. Thanks for all the great suggestions guys.

    Engine won't take more than 10# of boost after rebuild. Need ideas please.

    The pistons are new. The crank and rods are new with the stroker kit. The block was not bored. I will ask what was done to the heads. I don't know who made the head gasket but he said they were steel reinforced. Thanks. You've given me a few more ideas to pursue with them. I will let you guys...

    Engine won't take more than 10# of boost after rebuild. Need ideas please.

    Stock waste gate. TE 63 old style turbo just completely rebuilt two weeks ago. If I punch it from a dead stop or ease into the boost it runs perfect. But when the boost gets over 10# that's when it stutters and backfires. I don't know where the shop purchased the coil pack and module. The...

    Scan master numbers are good other than the knock retard. Grounds were checked. Boost hoses were checked again. Roller cam is new and was degreed. I will add these items to the original post too for future readers of this topic. Thank you for the responses.

    Engine won't take more than 10# of boost after rebuild. Need ideas please.

    The engine won't take more than 10 - 12 pounds of boost without backfiring and having 15 degrees of retard. Coil pack and module are good. Fuel pump is good. Fuel pressure rises appropriately with boost. Spark plugs and wires are new. Cam sensor is new and checked for proper setting multiple...

    Torque converter bad?

    The trans only has 400 miles on it and it was built by a reputable person who is experienced with this trans. The car has not been raced. Just easy Sunday driving miles. A noise started today when I was less than a mile from my house so I drove home and parked it. When the car is in park...

    When I set the meter to the 2k ohm setting it just shows a 1 for being beyond the limit. It is a fluke meter that I paid about $100, so I don't know if it's good enough or not.

    Let me clarify on the ohm readings. To get a reading my meter must be set to 20k ohms. The readout I get is 9.5 to 9.7

    Low Compression numbers?

    Thanks guys. The cam issue makes sense to me. I know my rings are not worn after only 1,500 miles. I think we put this one to rest. Thanks again. Now if I can make the car run properly as referenced my other thread that would be great...

    Low Compression numbers?

    I have two different guages and tried both. I tested at WOT. Thanks for the tips. I'll try the loosening the rocker idea too.

    I like the idea of checking the injectors. The timing chain is not stock and as a reminder the car has only about 1,500 miles since the rebuild. No cat on the car. No egr either. The coil pack ohmed at 9500 to 9700 instead of 11000 to 13000, so I don't know if that's good or bad.

    I really appreciate all the responses. I run Mobil 1 and I'm not sure if it has the zinc. I checked the hoses and there's no vacuum leak. It sounds like if a cam loped is wiped that you'd see a lack of movement on the rocker. If that's the case then I'll check it. This problem was an...
