I was, but I wanted to get the car back on the road ASAP. The local NTB had these tires in stock and since I've been happy with them I just went for it.

Strapped down @ Cobb Tuning in Plano, TX. Put down 360whp/370wtq. I'll post the graph later this week when it's available on Cobb's online database.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...

It was making pretty good power assuming that was stock turbo on pump. Pump gas seems more prone to inconsistency relative to E-fuel.

He's been complaining a lot recently of excessive knock. The car probably needed a retune badly so who knows what went wrong.

It was. The above charts are with my incomplete speed density tune that I never finished before getting T-boned. I'd say it was ~90% complete. We cleaned it up a bit more after that dyno session and it was pulling great. Then just recently he blew off some IC pipes and ever since then the car's been running poorly for him (which I never got to experience or check the tune).

Dear friends,

If your KnockCEL goes off under WOT, please let your foot off the gas.

Regards,

your melting pistons and abused rings


Sad day if this is indeed true.

Exactly what I was thinking. So does this dude have any plans then? Stock replacement? Built motor? etc?

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...

Got a semi-confusing update from him today, but here's what I was told:

The block itself is fine, but the timing belt snapped and there is a hole in the oil pan.

Along with the implication that they are somehow related.

The magic smoke needs to get out somehow, the oil pan isn't as thick as the block.

kracka suggested that it was tuned up here and wasn't properly retuned for their fuel. If there's one place that I'd never cut a corner, it's on the tune.
