Well i think my season is over,what do you think?
I was bored at work today so i pulled the car down for a leakage test and compression test. Every cylinder was fine right at 180psi and no leakage but good old number 7 was at 150psi and had 25% leakage. I boroscoped the cylinder for like an hour and found no holes or anything obvious. I think the tons of nitrouse ive put threw the motor finally started wearing out the rings.
Ive got some new plans already in my head. But for this summer i might just cruise it and just not use the nitrous or go to the track. Im kinda sad but when you spray eventually you will pay.

Thanks Brad i was hoping you would chim in. That is exactly what i was thinking. I had it on the dyno 1 month ago with every cylinder working fine and it did 430 at the wheels on a mustang. I had it on 2 week ago when most likely 7 was bad and it did 418hp. So i guess its not that bad. It still runs great and doesnt smoke at all. Hopefully i can still run a mid 11 for a while.
