Will be cool to see how much the performance picks up with that Charger once it has a proper engine in place.

I did a compression test on my Porsche and it came back even but low across all cylinders, like I was saying last time I was going to dig into it to figure out what was really going on I picked up a cheap complete gasket kit at Napa and did a little disassembly.

So I guess it was built with 2.2L connecting rods to lower the compression so it can run more boost safely without needing a lot of tuning.. or I'm over thinking it and the previous owner was just an idiot. I got it put back together reusing whatever rings and gaskets were good and replaced only what I had to after seeing those rods I was already planning on pulling it for a full rebuild.

And now to start searching for a master rebuild kit, if I can I'm going to upgrade the block as well if not see what my mill can do with it.
