One more thing I wanted to add that I luck out on is the leak down readings.

With the engine cold I have around 15% leak down. At normal operation temperature its around 2% leak down. So I'm very happy with the results.

I gap the rings at .021 on the top and .023 on the second. So this is pretty much normal from my past experience with wide ring gaps. The engine has less then stock blow by so I'm very happy at this point.

The engine is very responsive and has decent lean burn acceleration at mid load.

The compound turbo system is doing its job so far. I'm making boost from a dead stop about 4 psi at 22+ A/F ratio. No miss-fire.
