2.3L ford engune gurus, please help!!!
Raced 4 nites so far and the car is flat out SLOW and I cannot for the life of me figure out why...
Bottom end is stock crank/rod .030 over KB pistons with windage tray, just put all new bearings in it.
Head is ovalport milled .100 with a NEW .479 lift hyd roller cam, NEW lunati hi perf. lifters, & OEM roller followers from a low mileage super clean 8 plug '93 2.3L. I have checked cam alignment with TCD like i have for 8 seasons now & its right on. Timing at 36 its right on also.
Motorcraft 2100 carb, 350 cfm 57 jets, brass float, mixture screws 2 turns out, AP765 plugs, look new still.
Schoenfeld header (had 42" pipe on it, went to just a turndown (even with trans X member and car was better).
Using synthetic blend 15W40 oil, OEM oil pump ,55# oil psi at idle.
Only issue i see is low compression, all 4 only pump 120#. engine does NOT smoke & has very little blowby from VC breather.
It has absolutely NO low end power,& idles fine but on track it like I'm at half throttle. Ive used ALL these parts in the past EXCEPT cam & lifters and have NEVER had this issue.
i greatly appreciate ANY and ALL the feedback you guys can give me.
