I'm just starting to look for answers. Unfortunately I planned this right before a vacation so I don't know how much investigating I'll get to do. I think its been down on power since last summer though, august or september. I made 378whp on MAPs dyno day in the fall and thought it was low for having just made 360whp on DB's DD dyno, but had never been on there before and chalked it up to my awesome luck. After doing HG, Water pump, timing stuff, cams, springs, and having gosh go over the head, I made 380whp on E85 on MAPs dyno in January. Aside from power profile changing a bit due to the cams, no major change in power there.
The car has been burning a bit of oil since the headgasket swap last fall (possible it could have started before that, I don't recall). I had the FMIC off last summer and thought maybe I had left a shop towel in the fmic inlet, but I took all of the ic piping out and checked all of it, and from what I can see there's no debris anywhere that I can see. I am 99.999% sure the FMIC is fine but there's an ounce of lingering doubt that it could be the issue.
Compression a month ago was like 175 170 165 170, gonna do it again to verify as well as do a leak-down test.
