Well Shepherd fixed my trany and transfercase for free. Even said he credit my credit card for the fuel to drive back to Akron. Went back to IPS Motorsports last friday. Leak down test came back good. Compression was good to. Think it was 145/150/145/150, something like that. Plugs need changed, but Eric didn't seem to concerned about them. Ran some test and my Grimspeed boost controller went bad. Car was only making 15 pounds of boost. I went ahead and ordered the boost controller. I thought trying to get them to warranty it would be a pain, but turns out its not. So looks like I'm going to have a extra boost controller.

Im not sure what was going on with the car when i took it up to TIC. Car idle so bad that it would not stay running. Then overnight it was fine. When tic did compression check they thought one of the cylinders was down on compression. Sounds crazy, but i wonder if i had a stuck valve for a few days. At IPS the compression was good. Mystery!!

That is weird because we always check every cylinder twice for consistency. Glad shep took care of the cost.
