I had bought some crappy leak down tester that broke almost as soon as i started using it but i could definitely tell lots of air was getting passed the rings.
She was only 2,800 miles away from 100k. :-(
She started having a slight misfire under 2 grand with a load. It was especially noticeable when the converter locked up in 4th. Traced it down to #2 and did a compression check.
It sucks that the only reason i hadn't had it to the track was a stock tranny and i just picked up my built tranny a few days ago.

 

Damn bro that sucks! time to build something better.

 

a 408ci would give you the EXTRA torque that the caddy would love!

 

sux whats your best quarter time? id like to do some building on my ext

 

Never took it down the 1/4. Before the turbo it went down the 1/8th at 8.97@77. Shoullda been about a high 13 or so.
