I'm running a '99 GSR with bored GSR block, CTR pistons, Skunk2 intake manifold, Skunk2 cam gears, alumininum crank pulley, short stack intake, Type-R tranny and stock ecu. I have a p28 ecu but need to chip it. I'd like to get dyno tuned if my car ran right. Looks like my head is in fact leaking so I'm going to put in a Cometic gasket and maybe new ARP head studs. Once I change the gasket, I'm doing a compression test. My car has run fine with this set up despite head leaks. Maybe I'm just losing too much compression right now...?
