Ford does a power balance test that can help in this instance.  Borescope the cylinder walls, pistons, and top rings.  Fingers crossed.
 
Like Easton said, I hope everything is ok man!  Doing the dyno pull makes sense to start off.  And then if need be and clearly hoping not, look deeper like Manu suggested! 

I commented on your post about the UPR kit on the length of hose.  You just got to disconnect all the hoses, remove the canister from the bracket, run that hose under the IC to TB pipe and between/underneath the compressor lines and get that hose back to where the canister was, connect all lines with it off the bracket and then secure the canister to the bracket.

Thanks for the UPR heads up... I tried routing that way, unfortunately the hose was still too short to connect by over an inch or so. Unless I am doing something else wrong... do you happen to have a picture of your hose route? THanks!

I have a good baseline dyno, so we will see what its doing. If power is comparable to what it was, then its just a tuning issue would be guess...

Swapped out the LMS Catch Can for the UPR Catch Can. Nothing wrong with the LMS Catch Can but between selling off the MyCalibrator and the LMS Catch Can I was able to cover the costs of the UPR dual check valve w/ CSS setup...  There are no longer ANY LMS related parts on my car now...

Install was OK at best.. the triheaded line that connects to the CSS, CC, and Intake needs to be a bit longer as I was unable to route it the way I wanted to route it. Oh well.. its installed.

Additionally, I am taking the car back to National Speed later today for another couple power pulls. I want to make sure the car is still producing the power and I am not having an issue. If the dyno come backs more than a few percentage points lower, I will be having a compression test done to make sure the motor is healthy. Will post dyno slips later day.

First who the heck would run an LMS catch can ;)? 2nd I still stand by the bad air is effecting you more then you think. The difference from -1400 to 2200ft is pretty large. Just typing them into drag times da calculator you can see a 2/3 tenth drop in et and 2/3 mph drop. 60whp should be about 3 tenths or so. You may be down a touch but I don’t think it’s as bad as you are thinking.
 
I hope its just tuning related.  I mean, I want to say it must be but at least you're entertaining the idea it could be something more serious...hopefully just to rule out a serious issue. 

It could be your hose is too short.  It was tight getting it up there.  I will be able to show how I routed mine when I get back.  I'll even measure it to make sure we have the same length.........waiting for comments on that hahahaha

New dyno completed...

I'm down about 18HP from the previous runs. However... humidity is double what it was and temps were 91F vs 85F... soo in short.. based on all the information, my engine is running well. Both banks are showing similar AFRs, no oil consumption, no knock...

The shop said everything sounds good, and the dyno results are within norms considering the environmental deltas. They said there is nothing here that would suggest a compression test would be needed at all.

Datalogs all look great....could use some more boost according to Matt... So I will let the mad scientist do his thing when he gets a chance...

Basically... summer air/humidity vs spring air/humidity...

Things are all good..

Thats great news! That must be a great feeling for you knowing everything is ok. Can’t wait to see what that beast does turned up. Like I said da makes a massive difference. Your car will run 11’s all day with that tune up in better air.

Yea, 18HP can be heat soak easy. Correction helps with environmentals...but doesn’t take into account pulled spark etc from high IATs.

SBS,

I saw your want add about the MSD coils.  Do you and Matt believe you are starting to over exceed capabilities of the stock coils?

No, I don't think we have exceeded the capabilities of the stock coils. However, Matt has mentioned that even the modest (IIRC 15%) increase in energy that the MSD coils provide over stock make a big difference. They did pick up 9awhp over the stock coils and Matt said that it does smooth out the top end. For $260 its a small cost... also ordered new boots to go with them. I should remove the add...
 
Threw the coils in.... haven’t driven it yet.... but they are there! Lmao....
