need help
only running about 6lbs. with conservative tune. Bad stuff today.
I'm thinking possibly head gasket.
Cylnder:
8 196
6 190
4 192
2 191
7 170
5 150
3 170
1 165
Your help please. Thank you.
Probably a week before I can tear into it. I didn't expect this as conservative as the setup was. I'm having a really bad week.

By the numbers looks like you have lifted a head some how and you are now losing compression on the drivers side head.
Are you blowing out any kind of white smoke?
Have you checked your oil to see if it is chocolate like ?
What were the conditions when this happen ?
What type of tune do you have ? From ATI or installer?
Let me know bro and I will try and help you out in any way I can

Custom tune very conservative.
20degrees outside
93 octane
oil looks fine.
didnt notice excessive smoke.
idles smooth but sounds muffled and spitting under load.
down on power obviously.
car was at operating temperature
If I pull one head then I have to do both of them and It will up the comp. ratio, correct?

Is it true that you must use new bolts?
Thanks
