dyno question: UPDATE!
here is my previous thread
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1386072
I took it into the shop and looked everything over very closely and found that the plug on the number 3 cylinder on the left bank was cracked in about half a dozen places so i replaced it and the plug on the right bank on the number 2 cylinder was backed out a bit and letting in air into the cylinder. i replaced that plug as well and when i fired it back up it sounded like a much different machine. That car runs so smooth now it is rediculous. Revvs much faster under load. no misses or crappy idle or backfires. feels like im driving a ZO6 with all the power that made getting full spark to both those cylinders. Made me wonder ho win the world i got 28mpg coming back from kentuckey or even how i dynoed over 300rwhp with these two cylinders out of commision (or at least not anywhere near 100%). It feels like the car is on steroids now. Just wanted to let you guys know of my progress! I need to take it out to the track now and see what kind of times i can get with it feeling this good! I guess it would be fun to find another dyno as well and see what my reall power difference is!
