Default need help in GA. Bandit Runner needs help.

Need forced induction help. Fellow runner is having oil leak problems. To much crank case internal pressure. Blowing oil from the dipstick tube and pushing the stick out. Breather oil cap did not help. Any shops on the area of Tifton, GA?

I just talked to Kenny, from Lacon with the Black T/A. I mentioned Vengeance, but it's about 2 or 3 hours south down in Cumming, GA. He mentioned something about looking for something close to Daytona?

Brooks Speed is in Tifton, GA. He owns Modularfords.com, his name is Eric Brooks. Drop by the shop and see him. If he can't fix it PM me and I know people that can. I'm thirty minutes from Tifton.

We found a guy that's getting the car and hauling it to his shop to fix what the previous shop didn't do right

If its pushing that much past the rings and still driving with no issue it's probably a head gasket issue I would think. Tune might be off or a meth kit malfunction if he has one of the kits on the car.

Ya that was just their guess just from the phone convo. And there are plenty here to throw ideas around as well. He does have a method kit on it. From what I gather the shop that did the install didn't do a proper tune set up to the car and over boosted is what we are suspecting. But they came and trailered the car to the new shop that's fixing it and him and his girlfriend snagged a rental and are doing the rest of the run with us. Was a nice surprise when they showed up at the hotel here in Daytona last night.
