Default Broken inner spring
After figuring out it wasn't a tune or injector problem, I thought I'd post it up here. I found a broken inner valve spring on my PRC 675 duals. Truck has had a misfire ever since the dyno session. Could this be the cause? Its #7 exhaust.

222/226 .602/.605 114

Only around 4000 miles. Broke the springs in religiously. Must be a bad egg.

Haha, I feel ya. I'm more or less at that point too...you've spent way more time on yours though. Gonna do a compression test later to see if there is a fried exhaust valve. Have you checked that yet?
