I'm not the best tuner in the world but I've had it tuned by a few diferent good tuners and still does it. I had another one of my buddies take a look at it last night and he said the tune is fine but to raise the idle cuz Novas like to run with the idle raised a little high. I've heard this about OS engines but never Novas. So I said what the heck due to being frustrated and raised the idle a little higher then I typically like but it did seem to solve the issue. It has probably 3 gals or so on it and the compression is still decent. It just recently started doing this so idk what the deal is. I run the AE 8.2 so the tank doesnt have a clunk but I run an inline filter which I was told a while back that helps when running a non clunk tank. If any one could chime in and offer any advice or suggestions I'd much appreciate it.
