Nick:
Any chance you are simply getting used to the power?
When I was hot rodding my Z28, I had it up to 375HP (based on an
ET of 13.52 sec and
and vehicle weight of 3600 lbs), and it felt like about 200HP. Good, but
not dazzling.
That's the problem with horsepower; it's like cocaine. Add
20-30HP and you feel
like a new man. The problem is that the first thing the new man wants is
another 20-30HP!

Subject: Compression Readings
I was wondering if anyone had any idea of what my compression readings
should be when I run a compression test. It seems the car just doesn't
have
the kick it did. I had the engine rebuilt @ 3 years ago and I only have
@
30-40K on it since then. I ran a compression test when I first got the
motor
back but I can't find the test results, The number 190 psi sticks in my
mind
but I just can't remember. I have 10:1 compression ratio and Elgin
715-18
hot street cam.(I would compare this to Richard Goods GP-3).
Thanks ,
Nick Gemas
