Re: Why 4 degrees?
If you took a 10-1 compression 327 and made 350 hp on a dyno with a 106 centerline cam and changed to a 101 centerline with everything the same. would it make more hp?

Re: My GMC S15 might have blowed up.
I am pretty sure the pump went out. thats why it wanted to run on carb cleaner. I need to install a pressure gauge on the fuel rail 1st then compression test. I bet it might have hydro locked and bent the valves. Will find time soon to see.
