Default You guys were right!

I posted this in the internal engine section because of where the problem is but I thought some of you might like to know about my problems I had. I have a cam ,heads ,blower setup and I was having some crank case presure issues at hight RPM's. SJH (Forced induction section) and a couple of others guessed a piston issue. I was reluctant to hear it with maybe 40-50 miles on the whole setup, but after going to MTI I talked with Jayson who by the way is the greatest guy to deal with and will go the extra mile to help you out whitch he did! On the dyno it was way down on power from our first session(Whitch I knew) and was running 10 on the A/F so after he leaned it out it still only put like 460? I was told to the ground that is still over a 115hp down from my first tune. It was cutting out in the upper RPM's he frist thought spark plugs but I had just changed them and then he pulled the oil fill cap and there it was staring us in the face a choo choo train. I guess when the first supercharger locked up I hurt something. I am not happy but it is the price we pay for playing I am going to put new forged piston and go down the road now. Just thought you might like to hear about someone elses bad luck. LOL! I just want to Thanks MTI and Jayaon again! The whole team over there is top notch and still first on my list if I ever have someone work on my car for me! Sorry So long.
