not running on all 8 cylinders....
is there a way to tell if im running on less than 8 cylinders??
reason i ask is my car doesnt feel the same nor does it sound the same either.
my only mods are lt's,ory, and cut out. the plugs/wires were changed 3 months ago.
ive checked all the plug wire connections and they all look good, i dont have a flashing SES light or any other light on for that matter. car just doesnt feel strong. i noticed it 2 days ago.
any help??

You might just be getting used to the car. You bang the rev-limiter in it at all lately? I did when I was just headers/exhaust and felt like the car lost some power. Then slowely I started hearing some ticking. I pulled the covers and rockers and had a bent pushrod. Car would still light the tires up, but I could just tell it wasn't as strong.

reason i ask is because i did notice a noise a while ago that i could only hear at 1000-1500 rpms. took the car to 2 diff. shops and both said it was normal nothing to worry about. last oil cahnge about 1 month ago i didnt have any on the magnetic oil pan plug.
