Engine Noise
Recently tuned my car on Race Gas and the next day I went to a dyno shootout. While I was on the dyno, we made three pulls. The first one hit timing at about 6k rpm and the second-third pulls made about 100+ whp less then what the car was suppose to make. After the competition, I changed back to 91 and flipped maps, but my car now sounds like a turbo civic from the engine bay. It is extremely loud, but the car still runs fine. I am thinking it could be a gasket blown somewhere and leaking some fumes, but has anyone had experience with this problem. I am currently at my parents house, so I don't have a shop nearby to go to. Thanks
