Default Disappointing numbers
Took the truck out today, ran a best of 14.89 @ 97, with a 2.4 60'. I need some boost

This is with 30* of timing across the entire run.

Low compression N/A 408 has no *****!

I thought you were faster than that, before the 408. Put some nitrous on it to hold you up until you get some more boost.

Single, probably a pt-88 or something similar.

Somethings not quite right, you've got a good setup and should be at least low-mid 13's NA right now. What does the converter flash too?

It doesn't really flash. I can stall it to about 2400, but if I just floor it from a stop it hits less than that.

Oh, another fantastic piece of info. I burned 2 qts of oil in 1000 miles. I hope it's the PCV. My night was cut short when my Check Oil Level light came on.
