So yesterday I was chasing a ignition issue that required me to do some rewiring. I did not get the engine started (my module might be gone because it got wet), but I noticed while cranking that the...

Earlier post... Autometer Pro Comp mechanical.

I still don't get it with regard to the pressure drop. The Oberg still creates a restriction. It flows more than regular filter but it's still there.

I even asked about this when I saw the numbers... I was concerned about the pressure, but when I saw it running with just about 80, I wasn't worried. My friend running the dyno said not to be...

Clearances may be tighter. Like I said, the numbers are at home.

Why the 79 PSI on the dyno with the Oberg? Same oil and everything.

I don't have my notes in front of me but they were in the middle of the spec. I want to say .0025 on the mains and .0022 on the rods. I'd have to dig up everything at home.
