I'm having an issue with compression in all 8 cylinders.
Here are my mods:
-5.0 stroker
-custom ground cam (stage 3+?)
-pulleys (boosting 14#'s)
-all applicable fuel mods
-intake/tb/full exhaust
-BAP
-ported eaton
-heat exchanger
-some other not important mods
I took it to a dyno and I wasn't making the power I should have been.
476whp 475wtq
tuner said it should be a bit more (around 520ish?)
figured out my ported eaton is ported wrong or just not ported at all(because of boost drop-off). Have yet to pull the blower off to check.
So we decided to do a compression check and all 8 cylinders were at 90-100.
Borescoped the cylinders and didn't find any oil residue so i don't think its in the rings. Plugs look clean. I think it might be because the previous owner didn't install aftermarket springs with the cams? Or maybe the cam itself is just plain too big? Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Steve
