W2W tested the carb'd intake and it doesnt help the lean issue either. the belief of the carb'd being more even isnt correct. the car intake actually is the best at distributing the air. some think the lean issue has to deal with how the firing order is. I think something else had happend

Thanks guys, I'm hoping it'll only be down for a couple weeks but I'll know more once I can pull that head off. It would be really nice to have a bore scope right now.

I'll have to do a search over on tech then and find out what my best option would be.

Well Kyle already stole my engine stand for his dummy motor for his turbo setups, so that means that I"ll have to steal Mike's new stand that he just put together a couple days ago.
