I tested the number 1 cylinder again last night. Strangly, cold it went to 135 with no oil and with oil (may be too much?) it shot to 210.....
I will try that, I don't think it will though as Im pushing through the traps at 52-5300 and it won't shift into OD until around 5500 or so.

Its a steady 43-44 line off. It doesnt drop much line on because my return line can barely support the aeromotive 340 Im running.

I do plan on doing a leak down but don't have access to a good enough compressor at the moment.
Well thats good enough news. The car doesn't smoke down the track or on the street after a pull but there is some smoke out of the drivers side breather after a quick Tbrake to 5 psi.
Yes it raises with boost just fine. The air/fuel tracks to the WB sensor and the injector duty cycle is right in line with older power logger runs showing there is not a lack of fuel issue.
What is more than 50 % ? My math is showing around 23% from my best outlier cylinder to the worst. I may recheck them again and crank for a bit longer since it should stop at the peak no matter how many cranks.
Im not sure how to conduct a running compression test? Do you run it on 5 cylinders with a gauge in the dead hole?

Oh ok, yeah I wouldn't put a whole lot of weight in that test. I may have put too much and skewed the number. It never had close to 200 psi

Verifying timing... Are we talking verifying top dead center and unplugging the est wire and using a timing light? The engine nor chain have been apart since it's been in and gone 128 mph. Other than a small amount of timing chain slack, what am I looking for? I have heard of the steel ring coming loose on the balancer but just curious what you are getting at with the timing.

I know I'm whoring up my own thread but I was wondering what some thought of my converter efficiency? It's always been 14-15% and it has been restalled a couple of times for different setups. Should I send it out and have it looked at? I don't know if the car would benefit from dropping the efficiency to the 5% range since that may drop it out of its powerband through the traps. I have neglected the car track wise for a couple of years and was always just assuming it was running as well as it always had. Now that I realize it's not it's bothering me a lot haha.

Thanks bison, the valve springs are brand new k750s that David husek verified before he sent them out. They were installed at 1.65 which I believe were around 140 closed and 400 open. I will contact Dusty about dialing in the converter.
