I did a compression test, surprisingly I have 180 psi in each cylinder!!!!!! Uhhhh, the motor has 135k miles on it, 35k with a supercharger and it still has 180 psi of compression??? Holy sh1t! My helpers where very impressed with the dual timing chain and roller rockers. I also checked and verified that the cam gears on the m44 ARE adjustable. I replaced the spark plugs with Bosch Platinum +2, the car idles a little better now. I re-routed the vacuum line for the stock FPR so it sees boost, this actually made a noticeable difference! We also replaced all DASC and intake manny gaskets while we had everything apart.
Overall, I'm impressed with the condition of everything. I thought I would for sure find something wrong after the abuse I've given it. | Very impressive. Those are great numbers! __________________
