Good times at Byron! I'm glad they didn't kick me out.

Hmmmmmmm, what is it now about 5 yrs ago you bought those valve springs. I think you need to put those on your heads to actually work not in the trunk of your car. You need to change the valve springs first before you do anything else. This way if the car does the same thing you know the problem is somewhere else. I think at 20lbs + boost your valve are just floating just like your mind.

It's all good John; we are always looking for an opportunity to rip on each other.

Denny I can even remember what I ate for breakfast this morning so you are out of luck on the promise I made when I was 28. If you offer me some parts like rims, old turbo and things my memory may come back.

my vote is for being pig rich.... if you aren't using a wideband you really don't know what the afr is ...point blank . narrow bands suck... I remember my stock O2 read 780 at a dyno session...put a WB on and I was 9 to 1 afr

still checking it out...

haha Gary SUX man but what can I do!!! Hows the car you take it apart yet?

but so far the #2 spark plug electrode was completely missing!, the lower radiator hose was leaking right at the water pump (which could explain the bubbles in the radiator) and the oil seems to have a lil bit of moisture in it. Its not milk shake but I dont like it. May have gotten in there when/if the head lifted. Gonna do a compression check a lil later then decide on what to do. Leaning towards a complete freshening of the motor, so I can also clean up the engine compartment factory mint while its out.

where did the mph go?

I think all those problems with the car explains where the mph went. I know there was a strong headwind but 7mph slower was not because of wind. Next time Im just gonna go to the grove. Oh yeah one good thing came out of the day at Byron, I put the car on the scale and with a full tank of gas she was 3,485lbs. Glass hood, trunk, and bumpers and I'm sure I can get that car under 3,350.

I think the head wind was costing 2-3 MPH. 3 being generous.

I weighed my TTA too. 3720 with me in it. I had a heavy laptop and a small tool box in it to though. Maybe 3690 without that crap in there.
