yeah, at 6500 feet I got like 170s across the board.. and I was like damn, no good! but my car runs great, and the numbers are dead even across all cylinders, so i can't really complain.

Check your timing marks, but I bet you find the problem under your valve cover. Loose valves will rattle, but they'll still stay tightly closed because of the valve springs. Comprendé?
