Re: loss in power greatly
do you have a compression tester? They're only lik $8-$18.
I wouldnt be making assumptions. It makes an azz out of u and me.
Your compression could be fine.
lost compression can be:
bad headgasket
bad valves
cracked block/ cracked heads
or in my situation: bad piston rings and bent connecting rod
I love compression testers, I REALLY wish I had a leak down tester
Youre not a cheap idiot. I've done MANY free/cheap mods to my car some were half-azz
some were Great! Trial and error is part of the learning experience.2k2 camaro, K&N, SLP whisper lid, Konis, AEM, HP Tuners, Angel eyes/Halos, CF SS ram air hood, 4.10s, Zexel Torsen, UMI SFCs, CrossFire, BFGs, Gatorback, Catco, Flows, and TLC! DONT feed the Trolls! -
Re: loss in power greatly
did u wash out the lid after ya did it and let it dry to get the dust offa it? did u reconnect the IAT sensor? look to see if something is blocking the intake. i highly doubt you lost compression. if you did its coincidental. cutting your box wont do that unless you sucked some crap into the motor...2000 3.8L Camaro A4 Pewter Y87<br />K&N Filter, SLP Ram Air kit, Eibach Pro Kit, Flowmaster 80 series, Silverstars, NGK plugs and MSD Super Conductor Wires, Electric Water PumpComment

Re: loss in power greatly
idk wat it is but the engine bay when running is sooo loud when i give it gas i wish someone could hear it like it sounds really loud and it ticks sometimes ....so idk what it could be i know im loosing power from something and im thinkin its compression related because i did the free ram air mod a whileeee back but ever since its never had its power..i dont know who to bring it to to get it checked out ... i live in PA is there any people who specialize in our cars?Comment

Re: loss in power greatly
free ram air mod has nothing to do with compression
