LOL, on 7 cylinders your getting closer to the normal cubic inch range.

Maybe 9.5's next season on normal compression.

I agree fully. Not to mention the big cubes just sound bad ***.

I'm collecting parts to fuel inject it and then twin hair driers on it probably a pair of 88's or around there.

I assume those are dry numbers. You should also do the test wet to see how the values change. Compare the dry test numbers to the wet test numbers to figure out if your leakage is on the top or bottom end. You only have to do #5 wet since the others are OK. Top Fuel loses 800 HP when they drop one cylinder so don't feel too bad.

#5 is already full of oil the spark plug was soaked when I took it out its definitely rings. Its time to make it tight and right again.
