Compression test results!

7: 360. 8: 290.
5: 360. 6: 360.
3: 355. 4: 340.
1: 350. 2: 360.
So all seems well but number 8! I know this is not good but could it be my lack of power on the top end? I still think something else is up but what to do now, that is the question! Can I throw sticks and a turbo at it and run it like this?

Already thinking off getting a spare motor with all the problems I've had. Guess this put a rush on it!
