Not gonna say oh sh*t that sucks, so I stayed positive Joey. Think positive not negative!

Joey, what made you guys think to do a compression test? Was the car not running right or did you just do it out of precaution?

From the beginning i knew the motor wasnt a 100 percent. I did a compression check before the first dyno day and it was down 10-15 compression with some leak down. Before we put it on the dyno a few days before we did one and thats where we saw 80 compression in cylinder #3. I figured after driving the car around a little more, putting my street miles on it the car would go up in compression since i didnt break it in that many miles. Oh well stuff happens. Im glad i did it though and caught it now so it will be fresh.
