I think you will fix it through that. Get with me and we can see about a mass air meter for it. Just might do the trick over that bullet.

Would leaking valves play a part in glowing headers, low vacuum, boost loss, etc?

Just an fyi. This car is still glowing headers. Everything has been changed on this bastard but the block and heads. Any more input. I don't want to see this car miss FFW again this year.

It has been over at ProSpeed the last couple of weekends and they haven't figured it out either

On all post, I have not saw where TDC has been verified on the balancer. I have saw balancers and crank snouts be off by as much as 20+ degrees. Also the dots on the cam gears are more for reference than being set in stone perfect. there is no substitute for knowing where you timing and cam degree is at. A degree kit is cheap compared to motor parts.

I'll answer for him since he is tending to some family matters today.

He had a engine builder/machinist degree the cam in a few months ago. He also has used or compared various balancers. I can't remember if he actually tried a different crank during the last teardown a couple of months ago.

what type balancers is he using.good ones or cheap replacements?

if he is referencing with other USED balancers then i would find a new one and look at it.

I think it is a lunati he has been running for about 4-5years. All I know is the lift is around .544

Actually, I'm pretty sure he threw a stock block in there too and it still was glowing the headers.
