He may not be posting too much info for a bit.

I'll explain the whole story once we get a few pieces of information and if he doesn't mind. Nothing super bad happened on the dyno or anything.... BUT there are some issues.

Alright Kane, you can post any information you want.

I will just say that I had to use Seafoam. And I will be doing a compression test. Nothing to do tune with the tune, but I have an 04 with 52k miles on it....

Octane Booster???? HUH; you mean the seafoam?


Short story long the motor is low on power - tune is spot on; however as the RPM's climb it just won't hold power - even with the BC set up for a nice 9 PSI to redline run.... he was barely breaking 200WHP.

So we seafoamed it (after I left) and he picked up 3" of vacuum at idle.... but not sure what the resulting power numbers were as he had to stop the dyno early. There is just something not right about the car - and it being an 04 never pre-mixed I have my suspicions.
