Tell us about the new shortblock going in.
SCB or NAB?
Running 93 or 91 octane? Im going stage 2+ whipple gen 5, hopefully my motor holds up. Im going straight to e85 though, and custom PBD tune. Do you think knock caused this, had you done a high speed run and the motor running hot or anything or just driving normally when it happened?
I always run 93 octane but who knows what we are getting. I hope you have better luck than I did but having boosted cars sense the nineties I knew 93 was not the answer especially with cast pistons seen to many break on regular (91-93) fuel so it wasn't a surprise wish it was but oh well. No high speed runs that day and a few quick blasts here and there but never anything dumb but I actually think I hurt it one morning going out of town, I filled up at a BP that I don't normally use after about a hour into the drive I got on it to merge and it stumbled pretty and set a code forgot the code. I stopped hooked up my thomahawk and pulled the code cleared it drove a eight hour total drive just normal driving and it never came back. But I noticed it had a little poop in the exhaust every now and then and it sounded different starting. But that was over at least three or four months before this. But as I said I pulled it out cleaned her up to ride out and the light came on.
