im telling you,, a leak down test would do me no good! haha. if i pump about 120 psi (the psi if my air hose) its done out the crankcase in less than a second. haha What i dont get is why im not using any oil, and not smoking, or getting any blowby if its a ring or holy piston. if it is a piston, its got to be 4 of them! flyer listened to my truck... it dont sound like 4 pistons are gone. Grrrrrrr hahaha

I did see him at the track. I wouldn't have noticed it was missing unless he pointed it out ot me. There wasn't any smoke either. It actually sounded good under power too. It's definantly got me stumped. There is without a doubt something going on though, he was running 14.7 I think with the Whipple and some other mods. That is SLOW for having 6psi of boost.

My Z71 made 7 psi and only ran like a 14.8 with my old whipple. Thats with headers, cam, and LS1 edit.

Without some major changes, I haven't seen any whipple trucks running good times.

Hey bigguy does your truck always have a rough idle? My truck sometimes runs rough at an idle then will smooth out and then get rough again.
