Ever since I threw in this other stock shortblock along with the LE heads/cam it didn't really go any faster than with the cam only setup before with equal comparisions(same tuneup, weather, etc) so today I did a quick compression check...

1 - 145
3 - 140
5 - 150
7 - 140

2 - 125
4 - 125
6 - 140
8 - 120

We squirted some oil in the passenger side to see what it would read after and got these numbers...

2 - 150
4 - 180
6 - 185
8 - 170

Looks like I might have found the power loss, guess a budget 355 will be in store this winter.

Good to hear your found the issue, sorry to hear it's going to mean a rebuild.
I want to see that thing run a big nasty cam, but I suppose I could tolerate a turbo

LOL, it just needs a good shortblock now, already got the good top end along with a nice nitrous setup, just need about $100 more to finish up the nitrous stuff and $100 to finish up the standalone for the nitrous side. Should be interesting with another 150-200rwhp from where it it is now.

Might want to buy a set of wheelie bars, if it didn't already have them.
That bitch it going to end up on it's hood if you're not careful.

Nah, it does't have enough gear now to put it on the bumper, lol. 2.80 gears!

Somehow, I just don't see you keeping 2.80s in there long.

they won't go anywhere until they break, they SUCK at the track, but on the street(where I care more about) they work AMAZING.
