. Also, I think my stock I/C was way past the point of heat soak. Mix this w/ a boost gauge that was leaking, yet still reading 30psi, god knows what I was really running. I think my WI system saved my motor. I will be doing a compression check later this week just for kicks, but I don't think it is really needed since the copper spark plug would have melted if any knock would of happened.

Well, it turns out I had a leak at my I/C pipe connection at the throttle body. Luckily, it blew completely off at the end of the run and not during. Of course, I thought for sure I had gernaded the motor. Just as I am bought to leave my CC# on AMS answering machine for a new stroker kit, I noticed the I/C line .

I want to be fast and look good doing it. Something only a few of us can claim as of recently.
