    http://forum.camarov6.com/showthread.php?t=78524


    I've been asking a lot of questions lately but I just can help but notice things about my car and since I don't know much about cars, I have no clue where to start to fixing the problem.

    I kind of asked the question in the post above, but now I've been reading more and wondering about it. My car actually feels sluggish, I mean I've never driven a v6 firebird before so I don't know if that just how they drive, or if something is wrong. I've driven my moms chevy equinox v6 with 185 hp and it weighs a lot more then my firebird, and it feels like it accelerates a lot better then mine. I drove a ford escort for almost two years before my firebird and I feel like sometimes that car was better on pickup. Also I feel like I'm filling up way more then I should have too. I don't have any numbers on miles per gallon, but I filled up last night and reset the trip so we will see.

    I have done maintenance to the car as I said in the other thread, and I've also swtiched to a K&N filter and have removed my silencer. I was reading and wondering what else if anything could be slowing it down? I know we don't own v8's but something just doesn't feel right. Could it be a bad cat or something to do with the exhaust? Im lost, but thanks for any help.

    Well the main source on finding out what health your engine is in,is to carryout a Compression tester check,and a leakdown test as a start.
