Ok. I'm out of class at 9:50am tomorrow so if you're down for sometime between 10:15-11:50 that would be perfect, as I am taking a friend to lunch as a thank you for letting me borrow a textbook so I didn't have to go buy it for one of my classes this semester for $145. Lol

i would imagine compression problems would be your seals, but it wouldnt hurt to try seafoam. i got a can of it for $11 and it was enough to do my car and Diandras (itsdidihi's) car. from start to finish it took me 2 hours.

My brother is a mechanic as well and a good one. I described some of my noises during hi RPM's plus the misfires and he mentioned looking at the spark plugs to see if I notice any dark areas around the plugs. The spark plugs are about 20k old so I might need new ones I guess. I do run it like hard 24/7 so maybe but the issues have been happening even when the plugs only had like 5k.
So if anyone wants to meet I can spare a couple hours this weekend if it means I figure something out.
Incentive: You get to see the Forgestar F14's in person!

So what you guys are telling me is I need a teleporter? One guy is in Pembroke the other is at county line I'm in Kendal... 
Well, either way I get my tax return next month and one way or the other this car will be restored to above factory performance! At least 210 to the wheels and maybe 300 + by the end of the year. Maybe if Hinson decides its a good idea to make that v8 kit I might do something stupid...Who knows.
BHR get your production lines warmed up bitches! I'll be buying some sheit soon.

I wouldn't say it's running...More like jogging and when the weather is cold then it runs and when it's hot it has bronchitis.
You see the car runs great from idle to 6k. Then it all goes to hell! If you had an automatic BB gun and you shot it into a tin can thats what it sounds like between 6k and 9k.
To make matters worse 2nd, 4th, and 5th all CRUNCH during moderate shifting. Say goodbye to the gearbox.
Ironically enough this thing will probably keep running for another 50k to 100k but with no power. Currently at 97,000 miles.

and what's the status with the engine replacement??
Seafaoming could possibly speed this up, you see one reason why you might
Still have compression could be your carbon build up, seafoaming could completely
Take all your compression away and you get a new engine.... possibly

As far as the seafoam you make an important point. It is possible the carbon build up may also be whats giving the motor the little compression it has and performing the seafoam may cause it to die completely. This is speculation but with this in mind it would be best for me to wait 2 weeks to do this when I have more time.
Still the carbon does not explain the noises at full throttle between 6k and 9k. Only spark and fuel can explain that. I should look into getting new plugs and cleaning the injectors to see what happens.
