Is there anything more to say?? So now, I'm going to either build this one or build a cobra engine.

Nothin.... I've only put maybe 1k miles on the car since I put on the s/c. I had some issues with the water pump. I decided to check complession and do a leak down and as odd as it sounds it was cylinder 7&8. I say it's odd because I've never seen 7&8 blow, ever. Compression was 195/190 all across the other cylinders then 7 was 180 and 8 was 120. I did the leak down and I heard the air coming from the Oil fill. Then I did #8 and I heard it straight from the exhaust. LOL I've said it before 440 horse power ain't worth it if I can't drive it.

I joke with Bramas all the time and almost bug him about getting his 4v. I am on the fence now, Build a nasty 2v or buy a 4v and cam it with some giggle gas?

Why do you consider cylinder 7 bad? 8 without a doubt but I don't know about 7
Arn't all cylinders supposed to be with in 25% of the highest reading?
195 X .75 = 146.25 is your lowest #. Or am I wrong on my thinking?

I go by 20% and your math is correct. I just don't believe it's a coincidence that all the others were steady at 190/195. 7 being 180 right next to the cylinder that's reading 120, that just doesn't mesh well with me.

Well Tim tell me what to do. An MMR 5.4 short block is only $2300, lol.
