Re: SE take two!
I drove my X up once for a DB tune before going to Cobb, but Andrew hasn't gotten a tune anywhere yet. I always used to have DB tune my IX, but that's when I lived in MN.

Re: SE take two!
So even would a bad tune isn't a bit surprising one of these Howard rods would snap and at that power level?

Re: SE take two!
With a bad tune it's not about power, it's about cylinder pressure. High compression pistons + a lot of boost + too much timing + E85 is a dangerous combination for an inexperienced tuner.

Re: SE take two!
First to ever completely snap, they did have a rod bend north of 1000whp once.

Re: SE take two!
Got some good work done this weekend the head came off and to be expected some damage at least 3 bent valves in #3 and some combustion chamber stuff too. I've sent the EF3 back to MAP in the process of becoming an EF4 and I will shipping the Head back to MAP as well for some MAP TLC. Sould have the engine out next weekend and start putting it back together as soon as the head comes back then a mad rush to get it ready to drive up for the Spring Cruise can i get a Hell Yeah!!!!

Re: SE take two!
Turbo looks close to being done...words out on the the head as damage to the combustion chamber occurred waiting to hear back from MAP as they are doing their best to salvage it... also >9o% chance its not going to be ready for the cruise
