I feel like they are going to look at the tune first thing. And pete is always conservative so they will SEE that it wasnt his fault. But they will prob give you shit for it anyways just because they didnt put the motor in and tune it.

Yeah I already spoke with Jim Senior of JDM and we both know the deal. Pete talked to him for awhile. JDM is going to tune it also

Bogart 15" rims front and back... going to use them for the street and just throw the slicks on when I go up to the track.

so jdm pulled the motor during the weekend. they told me both headgaskets were blown, spark plugs were melted and it was because of a pretty serious case of detonation. I just cannot run the boost I had on pump gas. so they are also putting long tube headers and the midpipe to go with it so the truck can breathe better...

are they documenting the tear down? i would like to see (as im sure pete and yourself would) what they are seeing. not doubting pete as a tuner in the least. But as jake has said previously...i have also heard/read not so good things about them. And with us being far from them its hard to check up on things.

well when I drive down there I will have a lot more info but basically I have to pay for the new exhaust and labor. It could be a lot worse.
