Default compression

i bought my car 4000 miles ago and it ran great. however now i believe it is getting slower, it was hard to notice but there is deffinetly a difference from 4k ago.

anyway, i plan on getting a compression check done- if that turns out ok, what else could slow down my car? *i havnt added any real mods other then wheels and intake awhile ago but it didnt start getting slow till recently*


and if it IS a compression problem- that means new pistons and rings right?

are you blowing any smoke from your exhaust? what does your oil smell like? it could also be the wheels you added what size are they?

i asked because I'm pretty sure if your rings are blown you can get gas in your oil.
