Missed on this combo?

It's almost unbelievable that TWICE I completely forgot cranking compression. I think when you get hit in the face you forget stuff.

As far as intakes, what else I'd even out there? What manifold would you use?

The intake was the same between both heads so that probably isn't the issue.

I'm glad something was worked out and you at least get your money back. I knew Bloomer was a good guy and would do something.

I'm hoping Brett can figure out what went wrong, as another source for heads is never a bad thing.
