Dry test as in cold test? Those numbers don't even look bad. Any they're all in the same similar range.

I had 180-180-180-0-180-180 once.

That was expensive.

broken rocker or broken head?

[PorscheH6]

I need some autoX lessons. I'll let someone drive it if they show me the ropes...

Auto-x is great to learn car control. Track days are much more exciting.

I'd like to see how mine would compare in a straight line though

[PorscheH6]

I think an injector failed..only cylinder that leaned out

Usually a bhg will start with 5 and creep into 4. You are within 17% or so... Not great but not terrible. Seems like you are rounding to the nearest 10psi so with error bars it could be within 10%ish which is fairly normal.

[PorscheH6]

Yup, #4

I'm down.

Lol, my old NV motor was like 90-170-170-170-120-0 when we checked it.

All the plugs were out so there was no compression chug-chug-chug as the motor cranked over on the last one. Just a smooth rotation. It was pretty funny.

They won't let you on track with a vert that doesn't pass the broomstick test and/or have a cage... And you should really start out at autox anyway. I wouldn't recommend a track day to an inexperienced driver.
