What fans are you running? because I was informed of a car that made around 558awhp with a/c and was having overheating issues then went to the setup I'm going to run and never had a problem since... I would look into it because I want to keep my a/c aswell thats why I went with it..

I have a mishimoto radiator, with 2 10" fans, no shrouding. Not ideal, but it works decent. Hopefully better now that I found I had a blown headgasket also.

Shitty man, keep at it. Apparantly the shroud works really well.

Check your block and head for flatness.

Bump! wonder if you pulled the valve cover last night?

Nah haven't yet. I actually left the dyno day and went home to switch cars and headed to Fargo for the rest of the weekend.

On the drive home though from the dyno day, when just cruising at highway speeds I could feel extra vibrations. If I got on the gas a little, it felt fine. So I'm not sure but something is wrong. That what I'm thinking it is as it's happened to me before, and I think we wound her up to around 8300rpm on that first pull. So who knows.

I will be doing a compression test tonight, and pull the valve cover. I just did a compression test last weekend so I have a really good baseline to compare against. My numbers last week were 155-155-155-150.

Compression is 160 across all 4 cylinders. No rockers fell off.

Here's what I did find though.

The seal on that injector wasn't sealed good against the head. On the last pull I noticed something shooting out from around there, so hmm.... that cylinder was probably running lean. The wierd metallic sound we heard, no idea yet what that was. Could it have caused a spun bearing maybe? I don't hear it free revving, never heard it during a pull, just on decel.

Step 1 is to acquire a new 1600 injector. Anyone have one? Even if I can just use one for testing purposes to see if the car runs decently with the injector fixed.
