Default got a bad knock

Sounds like to guys knocking each other out,I did a compresiom test & they were all 10psi. From each other 170 was the highest , 160 was the lowest, no pcm codes,hope for the best,honestly I think I bent a rod ,that's how bad it sounds,good thing is I gotta 9to1 402 with the novi2k going in it ,outta be a hell of a ride ,erik koeing has done the work,so its just a matter of yanking this old 1 out & putting the new motor in,obtw. That mishap happend on 10psi ***** to the wall the car made 540rwhp. @4k rpm,I leaned out the pump,stuck a255 ltr in the tank ,took the car back to the dyno & the converter wouldn't lock up,imagine that,that's the kinda crap I have been dealing with , so after putting the new pro yank extreme converter in the my tuner is nowhere to be found ,he tells me don't go past 4k rpm,how the hell am I not gonna do that,well. Lesson learned if u can't get ahold of ur tuner trailer it to one who can help u
