    Start pulling plugs see if you have oil on a particular cylinder causing a miss and maybe help locate the smoking from yesterday

    +1 First thing you should do is pull the spark plugs and check them all. Also check all the wires. Check all the easy simple stuff first. Any codes?

    I highly doubt it. I have only been to a drag strip once. I have been to tons of dirt track races. My dad drove a car and we are building another right now for me to drive. I just didn't like drag racing as much so I usually spend time with the woman or deer hunt after dirt racing is over. I love fast trucks and roll racing though until I see blue lights lol

    More than likely I will be finishing up things at one of our camps getting ready for gun season.

    Ran a compression check and I've got 140 on 7 holes and 128 on 1 hole. Plugs look a lil black.




    Mosquitoes were tearing me apart so I had to go in, gonna dig deeper tomorrow.

    Yea they're really black. How rich is it at idle? Did you check the turbo to see if it was burning oil?
