Catastrophic engine failure

[Ronjon1185]

Was the tune an email tune? Dyno tune? Data log tune? Any more info would be great.

Trying to help so you dont have the same issue on the new motor.

Data log tune had extensive logs.

**** it.

You could die of Rona tomorrow.

Get a 20k credit card and max that bitch out on a new engine.

**** it.

We only have one life and time is the most precious thing we have.

It’s a kick in the nuts but your other options are half assing it or letting it sit.

Neither one is a good option and will compound the kick in the nuts.

I agree I am not going to half ass it. I'm going to at least put a built short block and repair any damage to the heads. Makes menwant to double down and make more power lol

How much timming are you running? What brand of gas and octane?

Just build the foundation and run the stock blower which is actually a performer.

Don’t skimp on the build and worry about all the big power crap later.

Just get ready.

From what I’ve seen you’re looking at 15k or so.

Definitely use one of the pros for this. It’s a unique engine and you will hose yourself for use and resale if you don’t use a reputable builder.

Not sure how much timing. I use shell 93 and supplement 110 vp race fuel for safety measures.

Could not agree more kinda what I was thinking around 15k or so. I will spend a little more on OPG and studs to make a "bullet proof" build as possible

Sounds like the fuel was of good quality. Had the fuel been sitting in your tank for a while or was it fresh?

I would be curious to know the timing.

Just check the base table timing was at 16 degrees and the car would demand 18 degrees at wot.
