Been using this for awhile now, and I've rocked the sticker on my car since I first modded it. I had shirts made me and all my friends use this for the name for our group. People ask what it is, sometimes I say my "race team" lol, other times I say if you've modded your car you're already a member lol.

Might as well get everyone up to speed, here is an arts fartsy pick of the '13 boss shortblock

oil pump gears (more artsy fartsy)

So that's pretty much where I am now. Waiting on my head to get fixed and boss valve springs installed. Waiting on my oil pan and pump and pickup tube, and I already got new gaskets and head bolts. Hopefully by the end of the week I can take a shot at putting this bitch back together o_O

Glad you're getting it closer. It's been nice having mine done with the Boss shortblock and upgrades like you're doing. At least I'm less nervous running it hard. Also once again recommend Lund Racing to insure this doesn't happen again. I did remote tuning and the process is much safer than what it sounds like happened to both of us. It was a costly lesson putting trust in someone else that should've been able to do it right the first time.

All I can say is I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this! It's a big glass of suck when you have to pay someone else's stupid tax.

At least you got some really sick pictures out of the deal.

You are definitely moving fast. Glad to see you are taking care of it the right way. Keep up the good work. I can understand Money Pit theme. My dad and I have been throwing that term around for years between project cars.

Man sorry to hear...I don't care what anyone says, you don't get damage like that from anything but a fucked up tune or a hand grenade. Christ I have seen a few coyotes that blew on boost around 15-17 and they looked no where near that crazy. Not trying to be a fan boy but I had Lund tune mine on the dyno, n have never had an issue with the blower make about 600 to the wheels for almost two years. These fucking things r too expensive to trust just anyone to tune them. At least I know if mine blows now, it is due to some mechanical failure n not the tune. Subbed for more pics.

So since this is a learning thread and I have a 2.8LC in my future, who is a good tuner for KB? Especially since from the OP the canned KB tune caused CEL and other problems.
