Yep. Now that I found my compression and they are fixed. I will be trying a boosted setup probably around tax time. Debating on a boosted 4v or a eaton on the current 2v..

Awesome man! Stuff is contagious ain't it?! Was it your rings or valves you were having trouble with? The boosted 4v would be wicked, but I'd go with the 2 & eaton. 1/3 the price of the former and still lots of fun! Glad you got your issue straightened out.

I took my throttle body off the other day and the inside was thickly coated with motor oil. I'm no mechanic,but I'm pretty sure that ain't supposed to happen

Boost + 10.6:1 + e85= Sounds like fun.

The issue I feel was stuck rings. Used some RevX and compression came back up and leak percentage went down.

On pump gas it wouldnt be advisable. But I strictly run E85. I have a friends with boosted camaro running 11.5:1 and around 16lbs on E85..
