Update Good and Bad:
Good = With 8 new spark plugs the car runs very smooth...I have NOT done an actual pull with it (I'm honestly scared to right now) but at part throttle and idle it feels great. Bad = There's an oil leak somewhere at the front of the motor. Argh, I am gonna have to have my guy chase it and I bet it isn't something major like a big crack in my motor. Hopefully the crank seal which is easily accessed. From my amateur eye, I can see that oil is mostly around the Balancer, dripping onto the starter and collecting on the undertray. Sigh...I hate/love this car.

Update: 1. Oil Leak is fixed...it was the front crank seal and it has been replaced with the LS3 version from Ted. I am also installing a Metco Breather with Check Valve also sold by Ted. 2. I flashed back to ProCharger's tune via the SCT X4 that comes with their full kit. Car seems to be running "better" and the CEL for P0430 (Bank 2 Catalytic Efficiency) seems to be done coming up. From my research, that particular code seems to be one of those that you have to go through like 50 drive cycles to get rid of. 3. I intend to get a Wideband O2 Sensor and A/F Ratio gauge from Ted as well as engage with him on updated tuning. First need to make sure the motor is healthy because I honestly can't tell if the car feels "normal" since it has been sometime since someone with experience with my setup has looked at it. I really regret going through my original tuner...he was considered very legit in certain circles (mainly Honda - Motec tuning) but had limited experience with this platform...don't make the same mistake I made!

If anyone is following along here...this is your update:
All the stuff that Ted wanted me to do are complete (correct plugs, JMS Fuel Voltage Booster, tune with HP Tuners). The tune is all corrected by Ted! I was able to take the car all the way to Vegas, swing up through the PCH and back to Oregon. Obviously still with the misfires in Cylinder 6. I was finally able to schedule a Compression and Leakdown test. Cylinder 6 is reading 100 compression whereas all others are at 250ish. Leakdown for 6 was "at the oil dipstick" whatever that means. I have sent that info to Ted for his thoughts on next steps. Hopefully with some work and $$$ I can get back to enjoying this car again.

If you are getting the leak at the oil dipstick you have only a couple things that can cause that. Usually its the rings that are letting combustion gasses pass by them. But I have seen pistons with broken ring lands or a hole. Too bad you don't have a bore scope to look into the cylinder before opening it up.
