Centri feels down on power

[isedawishy]

Going to data log tonight, but right I'd bring it up here too.

I assumed it was related to the hot Texas weather or E85 quality, but it's cooled down a lot and feels the same even after fill ups at different gas stations. Feels like it's down 50-100HP...

Im not currently running an oil catch can and a buddy mentioned to check my plugs.

Also noticed a few days ago that the vent hose that goes into the passenger side valve cover had popped out. I pushed it back in, but still kind of wobbly.

Anything else to look into?

Belt slip?

Do you have an Ngauge or SCT. First thing you need to do when the cars feels off is plug that sucker in and look at timing, knock and lambda. I just helped my coworker diagnose a bad/corrupted tune file from a reputable tuner by simply plugging my Ngauge to his car. He said it felt sluggish after longtubes and a tune revision. Plugged it in and he was seeing almost 10* of knock retard at idle! Even higher when driving. Told him to upload the tune he had before the longtubes....perfect.

Check for boost leaks

I don't believe I have any belt slippage, as I see no visible dust.

The car seeming low on power isn't something that comes and goes, but I'll log it tomorrow and shoot it to Lund for review.

I'm also going to change the bov to make sure no leaks there and will check all the piping in parallel.

How will I know if I need a catch can? Or is it as simple as I do?

cooler air should make more power, not less

either belt slip, or somethings loose, or something

Check your plugs,i was having a bunch of issues with mine and when i rechecked my plugs i found i gapped them wrong the first time,car ran good at first but a month starting running bad.Also without a catch can u want to keep a check on them from blowby.Just because theirs no dust around the belt doesnt mean its not slipping,it could have stretched a little recently and no dust build up yet.Definitely check all your vaccum connections.
