why the decline? ur motor on the outz?
no, just not as fresh as it once was... everything is a year older...
edit: actually the compression test i had done in AZ last fall showed 170-180 across all cylinders and the leak down i had done yesterday showed under 7% across all cylinders... one of the cylinders was actually below 2%! Beezer built my head in PA... but he has moved FYI- he's somewhere near Frapples place.
Contributing factors to decline:
91 octane vs 94/95
ambient temp was higher
dyno itself is notorious for putting slightly lower numbers- according to owner of shop
residual oil left in combustion chamber (i was there to replace seeping valve stem seals)
was that only the fuel difference?
shit.. 91 is still the best you can get in cali, right?
yeah... you can get race gas at certain places for $8++++ a gallon (98-103 unleaded)
otherwise the reading were very consistent, air/fuel mix is good, charger is boosting...
next time I dyno, it will have the cam, exhaust, and racing fuel... should put me over my previous numbers
