i would really like to dyno my teg. engine is 100% stock w/ only a k&n drop-in.. but the thing is peppy as hell @ 125k miles, especially in this frigid weather.

compression isn't even straight across (but still within spec when i last checked). 2 middle cylinders were down a bit. i'm thinking it's the head gasket between them. but no burning of oil, nor loss of coolant. in fact, i just checked the oil 3000 miles after the last change, and the level was perfect.

i was at 1/4 throttle and wheel-hopping out of a gas station today. i was like, "what the hell? what was that?" hehe..

*knock on wood*, hope i didn't just jinx myself..

i think it all comes down to maintenance.. keeping your **** in check, and i'm pretty anal about that. i also don't have heavy ass 17s weighing me down.

 

HAHA.... thanks for the replys... especially dude tellin me that maybe I'm just slow. I got the 17's... hes got the stock GS rims. I'm gonna get that timing checked out.

thanks a lot guys

oh... one more thing, why would my car be giving up on the top end?

 

why are you laughing? it's evidently true given your story. get rid of those 17s and you'll notice a big improvement. next, find out the truth behind your friend's mods.
