My Ecu's capacitors took a dump. I'm running 331 with EB performer heads, RPM II intake, and I can not remember which cam I have. . I like the all the flexibility with the Terminator.

At 270 Hp I didn't need it but at 350 wheel hp it made all the difference in drivability and responsiveness. That Terminator is awesome.

I've only ran unequal shorties, off rd H pipes, with flows. I want to try something new. I'm thinking LT, catted x pipe, different muffler, and avoid drone. I'm also trying to forecast which K Member would work best with LT. Any combo suggestions?

I pulled my lowering intake off and noticed some oil leaking in. A little more background about this engine, has great power thru all the rpm's , however once it got up to temp the some oil would leak into the cylinder. My suspicion were a valve seal, but just unsure at this point. Please fire back some questions.

EGR ports on the head. Likely coming down from the intake getting sucked through the EGR? Is it functional? Blocked off?

Whatever you end up doing get a stud kit for the lower intake to the heads. You will thank me later.

I believe it was blocked off. Do people usually block it off?

Good eye, They all look like they have heli-coil.

Now, I'm understanding why then need studs.

When the lower gets torqued down with bolts there is both torsional and tension forces acting on the threads. With studs it is strictly tension which is why you will get a better torque. As always heat cycle the motor and retorque the head bolts or studs, the lower intake bolts or studs, and the exhaust header bolts if you have replaced all those gaskets.

I did a semi- leak down test. The (HF) Horrible Freight leak down gauge was not working correctly, so I pressurize each cylinder @ 100 psi and could not feel or hear any leaks. I don't think buying another leak down tester is going to help much, however I could be wrong. What should I try next?

I just pulled the heads off and will send them to a machine shop. I searched all over the internet trying to identify this cam with no luck. What do you guys think? Only numbers I could read, 2062 M and 6057011

There was a thread over on the Corral with the 2062 numbers and it was an old Lunati cam. Should be numbers on the other end of the cam as well but who knows. You may want to contact them and see if they can help.
