Went from 3-2 in the TA and ran a 14.0/76. 1/8th mph was 85 and after that run every run with similar driving netted 81 mph. What can cause that power loss? What should I check for? Compression test? Bent pushrod? Plugs?
Thanks

look for several bent pushrods and excessive tapping noises!

Thanks, I'll check them out.

pushrods should be the first thing you check, they bend reeealll easy when mis-shifting..

thats exactly what happen to my car the first time i let my wife take it down the track. luckly nothing happen to it and i was able to finish the race. of coarse i did not let her race it again that time. anyways to answer your queston, like others said, i bet you have some bent push rods.

A buddie missed the 4th and hit 2nd in his SS. We pulled his pushrods and about 75 % were at least a little bent with about 3 or 4 giving a pretty nice wobble/hop. We were going to swap in my stock pushrods but they were almost as bad and Ive never missed a shift . Stock pushrods = week me thinkie . We ended up just grabbing the best of the buch and patching it up but it wasnt easy getting 16 good ones out of 32

Most likely is pushrods, but valves and spun bearings are also possibilities.
