The prior boost levels set up were collaboration between the performance shop and tuner. Who said it was safe. It wasn't. I have switched tuners and everyone else and set up is now running over 4lbs less boost, dyno'd 775rwhp on 93 and timing it capped to be safe. Watched the dyno in person...

Like I said the engine builder has been stand up with all of this after light was shed on the situation to them.

I can say the engine builder in my situation has been stand up once light was shed on what occurred to them.

Sorry. Due to the ongoing lawsuit for this, can't divulge. I wish I could to warn people, since after this happened to me, a lot of customers of the performance shop and of the tuner came out of the woodwork to tell me their horror stories using them as a combo as well.

Yes. And then Paid AGAIN to get it rebuilt to correct. But that is the half of it. The motor fix was easier to sort. it is finding out all of the bad work done by the performance shop. One issue to the next has had to be redone and we open up something we see where corners are cut. Amazing

Been a while....I do not want to say too much until lawsuit is completed. But the motor compression was not 9.5:1 as planned and ordered and paid for it was 11:1. And also block was not what was ordered and paid. E Which explains a lot of why the failure occurred. The rebuilt motor has the...

That is great question and made me search through one of the few contacts / emails with the tuner. This is just after final payment was made. Concerning to say the least. "I'm very happy with the e85, the pump gas and having to basically not use the knock sensors has my senses heightened...

was told not the case

No. Being told piston rings unseated. I have a list of questions that will try to get answered next week with details. Oil was coming out back through throttle body, through intake and being caught in the air filter bottom (was black when I took it off and collecting below the airbox on top of...

I wish I could have it longer to romp on it as it was built for. Most of the driving is with my 6 year old in the car since it is our "thing" to do together. It's our car really. The 2 times I had it alone and could get into it, 1st time fell on it's face and had misfire code in Cylinder 8...

Those are average. Most of the driving when I had it was local driving. I live in rural part of NJ. Way north. If I took a longer tip on highway the total miles for a tank improved. But it didn't last long enough to know. My round trip to my office is 100 miles. takes about an hour each way with...

I was following the tuner's instructions. It was to be tuned to protect in case of tank of bad gas. Thus why the BOOSTane was always added.

Has a Fore return style fuel system. But let's be realistic. This is a weekend car. If I am on the highway and go below half a tank I can't put my foot to the floor and go into boost? It only gets about 200 miles to tank. So every hundred miles I need to fill back up to be safe? Or granny the...

That advice would have been appreciated. Never told that. In fact car was given back to me with a little l Yes. So does mine. Yes.

93 is most available where I am located. Need to drive 50 miles to closest pump e85. I had 30 gallons stored to use but never got the chance. I have a return style fuel system. for the record this was supposed to be safe. Wasn't like i was told it was pushed to the limit be careful. If that were...

That's not rwhp. I had Roush Phase 2. then went with this build.

The reality is the builder and the tuner on my build and others work together from build, start up, tune to delivery. Hard for one to blame the other if they worked together with the focus of making power safely for the customer. In my case. i left it in the hands of the experts. And the...

All involved are working together at this point to get this resolved. No one has discussed $$ in either direction. My focus is why this happens and how to plan and safeguard for this not to happen again.

Tuner had it from start up tune until it was ready for delivery. Took a full 2 months at the tuner from when he started on it. He was responsible for break in. daily driving it etc etc. so when i got it was ready to go. i think about 500 miles were put on it with the tuner
