Oh there is no question about it lol

I only ran 1 tune
93 octane lund cammed tune from evolution

Im looking for a good tune now from someone that wont make it detonate

Evolution wont return my emails, but they responded quick when trying to sell me the tune

Shaun from AED. Best 5.0 tuner in the world.

 

[Nastystang06]

Have you datalogged that tune any?
I would be curious to see if there was any knock what so ever

And im nervous since the last tune broke it

just a FYI about the SPEC stage 3 clutch, I don't think I was overly hard on the new clutch:

here's mine:

maybe the clutch line will help you out a little by increasing the flow back into the slave cylinder since there is no restriction now with the JHR line. I should have done mine when I did the clutch. I have since moved onto a RXT twin disk and their billet steel flywheel. along with a JHR clutch line

 

[Nastystang06]

I have already read your thread lol
Im sorry for your bad luck, this is my 3rd spec 3 clutch on 3the different cars and none failed me

I have seen several clutches do what yours did after getting way to hot at the track

Hottlapping isnt good for one

Now im not saying thats the case but im gonna keep my fingers crossed and try not to destroy it

I will do the mccloed next time lol

Sorry for your luck, i wish the clutch was all i had to do lol

 

[mr. anderson]

yeah, know about hot lapping with the ceramic/mix clutches, I only hot lapped a couple times at the beginning of the day. after that I waited about a half hour between runs maybe that wasn't enough temps were in the mid 50's that day so it wasn't like it was hot out. maybe the M/T's radials was to much for it. I know it was a overheat issuewith the clutch since the PP and flywheel had hot spots on it but wow, I expected more out of this clutch. I got more out of the stock clutch than that one. usually if you overheat this type of clutch it can recover from it. I gotta think that the stock line doesn't help since it slows down the return of the slave cylinder, especially after the 2nd or third push when rowing thought the gears. I hope you don't have the problems I did.

 

[ethic1]

[Nastystang06]

So far it is great and i have had 0 issues, i have a tick kind of noise but i noticed it stock and ut got louder with no cats, i have 3 friends witj stovk 5.0s and it sounds the same

I would think the manual will let you set it up to read the knock retard.

 

[Nastystang06]
