EVERYONE should be datalogging and correcting their tunes anyway. tuners will make corrections for you.
Im sure this is why Job 1 GTs were delayed about 2 months. They all had compromised ring installs or ring issues from what has been rumored.
more info please
I think you should trade it now the value is higher now - no one where you live is going to be buying a rear wheel vehicle in the fall of the year - make sense?
Get rid of that lemming now - it is a lemming right? That is what your saying right?
I heard the guy claiming the 13:1 AF was not using a Wideband on the Dyno. He also had the wrong tune for the CAI installed because he never gave Lethal on the Information. Jon corrected the tune and his car now has the correct tune and if datalogged would be around 12.4 AF
too much info from too many "tooners" and not enough tuners..
I'd have a hard time beleiving this air fuel ratio is the cause of the damage...
I think more is to be learned from looking at the piston than fighting over 12.5 - 13.0 afr.. hell no where in between has ever really been considered "dangerous" on a NA car up until this thread..
It looks like there was a ring landing failure.. and the pistons doesn't look melted on top or anything of that nature..
Did the plugs show signs of detonation? How much timing was in the tune?

Tune by none other than Chris Mcduff of Excessive Motorsport in Manassas VA, this is the guy who he was tuned by. Also ive heard a few cars he tuned popped the #8. I Talked to a guy at HighEnd-Auto and heard about this car. I told him what to do but he wouldnt listen to me. Oh well thankfully i wouldnt consider this chris guy to tune my car
OP, can you verify that the tune you had was reading the knock sensors? It was common practice on the 99/01 cobra's to stop reading those because wheel hop and other drivetrain vibrations would give false readings.
That worked to the advantage of those cars that were on 91-93 octane and much lower compression. These certainly aren't the old 4.6 motors though.
100% stock with a Ford tune. Using a tailpipe sniffer.
