Thanks MPGeo, no problem, I got the numbers in this weekend. Cylinder 1 - 4, 135, 125, 125, 115 psi respectively. Factory is 128. I'm good with that, so no restore additive. I'll be getting gas tonight, so it will be my first tank of gas check. I also received the ultra gauge last week, and I'll be starting to do A-B-A testing with it.

Next experiments will be fuel system cleaner (obviously cannot do A-B-A testing), and weight reduction (I will do A-B-A testing) just obvious items that I don't need.

I'll check back in a week or so.

Cheers to all the responders

Subscribed. Question: the range between your highest and lowest is kinda wide, like a 15% difference. That's an issue, no? I've been told more than 5% or 10% is a problem.

Also... how is the alldatadiy manual working for you? How extensive is it? Did they mail you a print copy or do you get it in an e-book form too?

Bah! I had my units wrong in my previous post. I'm sorry, I'm an engineer and I use metric all day. All of the units above should be in 100's of kPa.

Also my alldata manual says 28 kPa maximum variation. I tried to be consistent with cranks, cranking 5 times on each, but I could have fudged the last one. I attached photos.

alldatadiy, I definitely suggest a subscription, especially if you have two cars, you can get a discount, and especially if you want to modify electronics, they have very good diagrams of each connector on your vehicles. I have only

Best couple of gauges to add to your UG that I have found is Throttle Postion, the Avg MPG and INST MPG. I use my throttle position all the time because I can mess with hoe much pressure I'm putting on the pedal to squeeze a couple more MPGs out. I try to stay around 14-18% I have noticed the car stay at 9.4 just idling. Like most say the UG is probably the biggest mod you can do to the car.

I did quite a lot of maintenance to my car this past weekend. We'll see how it does.

I was doing maintenance so I couldn't do an ABA test, so I decided on AABB testing. On a 4.1 mile drag, I got 49.1 average down and back, and a 49.4 average down and back.

I then cleaned out the intake, new air filter, cleaned out the EGR, and put 1/2 can of seafoam in the fuel tank.

I'll run the seafoam out over the next few weeks.
