Default 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.

You can still drive it N/A.. it doesn't seem that bad.. just take it easy while you work on your new plans.

Just dont spray the motor and it will be OK, I would keep it together and sell it while it works and put the money toward the new motor.

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.
