Default Introduction

Hello, everyone

My name is Chirs from New Mexico. Elevation is about 5600ft up here which creates a challenge working on quater mile times, tuning, afr's, and all that good stuff. Vehicles loose an average of 1 second on quatermile times coming up here from sea level which I'm sure most of you know.

I drive a 2001 c5 with a procharged evs 1dsc. Stock bottom end. Up top have dual valve springs with titanium rocker arms. 565whp. Wanting a mild boost cam in the shirt future thats for sure but have some ither things to worry about which I shoukd dave for the tech side of forum but currently have 3cylinders in a row on driver side with less than 70 on the compresssion (ouch, passed leak down test though, so we'll see what we can do abkut that).
Anyway Look forward to speaking with everyone I heard this site has the most knowledgeable LS people around.

Welcome. Less than 70 psi on a cracking compression test? I don't see how it could pass a leak down test. I would do both checks again...something isn't jiving.

That's why I am so thrown off. Was about to take the head off but would like to know more before I start digging around. I will have these tests done again and report back. Thanks for jumping in, it's appreciated.

Kind regards
