Why the #7 cylinder?

Seems to be the most common hole to go out first. It's the cylinder that tends to run more lean than the others.

At WOT, it gets the brunt of the airflow since it is all going towards the back of the manifold at a decent rate of speed. Since our injectors aren't tunable cylinder to cylinder, that one tends to go lean since the PCM isn't adding extra fuel to compensate. That's why a lot of guys (like me) get flow matched injectors and put the heaviest injectors in the back to compensate (somewhat, but still won't save you). With forced induction, this problem is even worse since you are REALLY forcing the air in.

I have 31K on my car & my tranny is starting to take a ****. I've had the cam & other mods on the car for about 9k now shifting @ 6800. So I'll definitely say the tranny.
