Oil looked fine during the last change. I'll be sending a sample to Blackstone for the next oil change. The cap is clean as well.

The coolant has a weird oily film in the rad filler. Not sure what that is as I'm not losing oil, and I check the oil level often.

I'm almost tempted to put the car back to 100% stock (engine wise) and toss is on the dyno. I wonder if my exhaust has anything to do with the low numbers.

Im also curious if the AOS has a small amount of condensation in it, which is what the white smoke from the exhaust was. I need to get another compression test done though to rule out an engine issue though, but it still wouldn't explain the disappearing coolant.

I'm a bit perplexed by this and just want to toss the damn supercharger on already, but I don't want to exacerbate a potential manufacturing defect and cause them to deny warranty coverage.
