I see the two of you going back and forth - and as always - the truth is usually somewhere in between.So you are asking the Tuner to play dad so the OP has zero responsibility?
Got it.
As the saying goes "Nothings idiot proof, just a better idiot will come along"
LOL you dont seem to have the capacity for some critical thinking and take the 2 seconds to come to the conclusion 800+ on pump gas isnt very bright.
I hope you never have a car out of warranty since you cant seem to understand the responsibility is on the end user.
LOL.
I agree with you that an owner has the (final) responsibility for their own car, what they decide to do to the car and what Shop/Tuner they use. OP stated that he wanted that 9. I also agree that the decision to go 800+ on pump+ is pretty crazy, Aluminator or not. Detonation is detonation. I also agree that a Tuner is not responsible for mechanical issues. I would expect a Tuner to have a great deal of feedback about the fuel I am running however. The tune is the Tuner - and if it is true - that PBD was cool with running 21.5 psi on pump gas plus a shot of booster - that is questionable decision making. Especially if they muted knock alerts. My Tuner would not even allow that fuel decision lol. He would correctly tell me I will blow up the motor because there is too much room for error with pump plus boostane. And if I "demanded it" - he would make me sign something - that I had been warned. I don't know if it was a lack of fuel system that stopped OP from using E85. That said - buying 110+ octane race fuel would likely have been a solution versus pump+.
IMHO - There is blame on both sides on this one being fair. Owner is always ultimately responsible if they made a decision to try for that ET knowing there was a risk - but it isn't so clear cut. A Tuner is free to give their feedback and even say no. PBD won't be starving from a lack of money if they refused a tuning decision.
