We finally got my nitrous lined out tonight, so we go out for a test drive. The bottle pressure is at 1000psi. I do a 3rd gear pull and the car is pulling really hard. I decide to run threw the gears from 2nd, i nail it in 2nd and go to hit third and boom. It starts sounding like an exhaust leak and it has a dead miss. We pull the number 1 plug out and it has the entire top burnt off, we change all the plugs, still has a miss. We change the coil pack, still has a miss. Long story short we did alot of test and everything had the same result, dead miss. So i go and get a compression test gauge and sure enough, 10psi in cylinder 1. It already has a forged crank so im keeping it. I think im going to put some good rod bearing and buy some forged pistons that will bump the compression up a little, get my machine work done and maybe throw some cams in it. I would buy heads but i dont have that kind of money.
