losing power at 8000 rpm
i have a 89 crx ls/vtec swap b-18 with a gsr head, stainless race flow valves, 1/2 mm oversized valves, blox 489 lift cam 266 duration- 476 lift 266 duration11.5 forged pistons,forged rods, 72mm throttle body, 310injectors, skunk 2 intake, j1 cable type trans 475 ratio,12lb flywheel, tit. retainers, phantom grip,bronze guides in head, final pull on dyno did'nt get but 181 hp and 133 ft lbs torque. compression readings are 195,205,200,and 210. tuner says compression just is'nt there. car has ran 13.3 at 103 shifting at 8700 rpm before we started tuning. if down on compression where did it go ran car up to 8500 on dyno no noises,no smoke, nothing at all sure need some answers i'm pissing away race season.... NEED HELP PLEASE !!!!
103mph is a good mph. are you on slicks? also 181 is a decent number. Motor not making power past 8k? awkward but thats just what your build does. Who did the headwork? oversized valves dont make power unless combustion chamber work is done with it. It can actually cause a loss in power.

i am not the mechanic, but as far as i know everything is supposed to be right, the dyno tech says it does'nt have enough compression at the spark plug hole for a 12 to 1 motor readings are 195,205,200 and 210 he says it should be at least 240 per hole this thing runs to good, have not done leak down test yet. first pull on dyno it made 144 hp on low cam pull before v/tec but with a 119 hp before tuning it went 13.3 now it has 181 hp and as good as it runs i'm going racing next week just to see what it will do
