Default No more racing the Aero for a while...

If you recall, I took the Aero out two weeks ago to test the Wavetrac LSD at the drags and got one run and had a hose clamp on the SC coupling come off...and threw P0300, P0306, P0304 misfire codes...

It seemed fine after I cleared the codes and ran fine coming home.... Then when I started it up in the garage it ran rough and I got the CEL and misfire codes again.... I replaced the plugs and swapped the coil pack from cyl 1 to cyl 4... no change... I checked the intake plenums and connections and nothing bad....so I took it to the local indie shop and he called me this morning... cyl 4 has 90psi compression and all others are 150... looks like I blew a head gasket.. he is going to call me when they get the head off so I can see what the cylinder/piston looks like.....hopefully just a gasket and put it back together and be fine....

But no more racing for me until I find a job and can afford to pay these Dr. bills for my car......

(I'll get pics when I go look at it tomorrow)
