Was a comp test done? What where the numbers? Post them if you have them. If one was not done now is the time.

Well no time like the present is there, cover the basics first. Please do a comp test or a leakdown test. Lets make sure all your work/time and money was not wasted.

How is your catalytic converter? Plugged up from the blown plenum? That will most certainly reduce power output....

Plugs won't show a compression problem. Need to actually run the test.

Does it run ok when cold?
