Ok i pretty much had intake/exaust boost gauge, a/f gauge and boost controller. I had been runnin the car and doing pretty good but i needed more like we all do. So i do my reaserch and seem to here the number 16psi pretty consistantly as the max for stock fuel system with exasut and intake. So i hit an abandoned road to test and tune for 16 psi. Well you guys know how sensitive the Bleeders are, ended up jumpn over 16 on my third pass and went up to 18psi but nothing bad happes no fuel cut no noises feels pretty good actually. So i leave it there like a dumb a$$ and go that same night to try out how she runs. I launch like crazy ad it pulls a lot better for about 4-5 ruus. All of a sudden my idle gets rel shitty. When i start driving it's fine nothing bad still got that nice power but then clutch starts to give out but that's a roblem for another tale. I park the car becaus the clutch is that bad and when i go to start it up it idlesures then dies. i have to give it gas to keep her going. We get her back to the house and begin to put all the stuff you see in my profile on the car. Start off with the obvious for drivablity clutch and flywheel then go to cams and valve spring. After we get those two going we try and start her up to see where we are. I shit you not my engine jumps like it wants to get out of the engine bay and run down the road like those comercials and it is makin the most god awful noise when you rev or anything. It is so off pitch I have never heard anything like that. Now wobviously we're gonna do a compression test but I want to know if anyone has had this happen to them and if they can give me the inside scoup on what it probably is. We def thing think it could be HG so i just ordered a MLS HG with overhaul kit worse case cenario I have a reliable HG and good seals to scratch off the possible problems. Now We didn't change the cams seals( I know should always change seals when you do stuff like that) Now to the big problem, car is leakin oil out around where the head meets the block (HG LAND) and it only does it when the car is running. Does all this scream HG or is it just me. Fill me in guys and please no well it could be this go off some kinda experience on this one i'm not trying to replace whole bottom end over a bad gasket so don't go get a new engine and a stroker and what not. Thanks guys.
