Well I'd really like to open up my car now that it's going to be intercooled (we're installing my HRC SMIC right now) so is it alright to run it hard as long as I do frequent tests and watch it?

as long as the engine is tuned pretty decent.... those numbers really arent too bad if you ask me... maby someone else will bitchslap me for saying that... but i would just keep an eye on it and see what kind of a trend your seeing over time.

Looks fine to me.
Of course, i have very lax standards. If it were me, it could be 150-190-210-180 and i'd probably still drive it and not care.

But you have the tools and know-how to rebuild it in 1 hour and have it back on the rode.
I'm a poor college student and if this thing pops and I don't have all of the cash handy then it's getting parted out or sold.

Glad to hear that, considering my 10.5:1 rebuild is netting my can't-install-piston-rings-for-shit-ass 190s across the board. :| Drive it till it drops imo. EDIT: or until you're switching out the old head for a built one and can install some Total Seals then since you're lazy and don't feel like pulling the engine twice a year.

hahahah....that's my thoughts exactly. I could give two shits about the whole theory with respect to needing no more than a 10-15% variance from cylinder to cylinder.
My theory is, if it cylinder in our 420a's is better than 150 or so, it's all good. Whether cylinder #1 says 150 and #4 is 224, or they're 180 across.

yea trust me, those numbers a FINE....as long as there not dropping low like below 160, who cares about the 15% diffrence shit...your numbers are all high just becuase there not super even....there great...try doing it again on a diffrent day, i did and got better number, the motor was nice and hot...try it
