[QUOTE="BlueByYou2004, post: 11477361, member: 127370"] I'm actually decently versed in Subaru knowledge, but I didn't feel like getting into too much specifics in this thread because ultimately it wouldn't matter that much. Our first guess was the tune. Not because of the power level on a built block necessarily, but the fact that it let go at a cruising rpm. So something finally let go from the detonation, or there was something else that failed suddenly. It did have a Walbro pump in it, so the chance of a sudden failure taking the engine out with it is entirely possible, although not probable considering the load the engine was under and many other factors. We could honestly only speculate what could have happened, but saying it was the tune and calling it a day got the job done faster. We ended up getting it retuned at Epic in Fayetteville. It's the same place where I've taken my Evos, but not the same tuner. My die hard Subaru buddy is definitely an educated Subaru guy and therefor is more or less crazy picky and anal about where his car goes. It's sad the Subaru world isn't like the Evo world were there are many qualified, trustworthy tuning options out there. [/QUOTE]
