well I just finished my break in and I am at like 95-ish psi with suspect piston compression tester. my motor might suck I don't know. floods when hot. starts when warm. injectors are so dirty that the oil contaminates with fuel in 400 miles. I change it often. performance is inconsistant but sometimes it pulls like a beast! I am gonna send the injectors off to have them fixed. I should have bought a manifold for a holley along time ago.

hey, just read this page. DO NOT RUN THE WRONG IMPEDENCE INJECTORS ON AN ENGINE. This is very important. I did this with out knowing it for the longest time. then that motor carborized and broke a side seal. It NEVER idled right, NEVER ran right, and had NO power. another thing guys, this has been said before, I'll restate. I would not worry about compression unless you really know what you are doing when building a motor and you are worried about every last horsepower. If the car starts, then you are okay, horsepower is going to very and little things like rotors with apex seal grooves that are slightly out of spec and nasty spots in used housings are going to affect compression on used motors. I think it is probably VERY hard to get 120+ psi from an old motor with rebuild anyway. I think the norm is probably around 100 psi. Now, that said, someday when I am rich, and I build a fully blown periphrial port race motor with coated rotors, alu side housings, fresh everything, custom fuel injection with infinately veryiable length runners all controlled by digital 4D 64 bit ATI enhanced pentium 8 EVERYTHING, swing seals, FD this and that, all with Yamamoto's blessings, I'll be damned if I don't get exactly 130 psi on both rotors 350 horsepower.

Are you doing them under the same conditions?
Remove both trailing plugs?
Compression check on one trailing?
Throttle all the way open?
Engine warmed up?
