One More #8 Kids!

[D98GT]

Damn, not good. Friend of mine blew his (Bama Tune) after doing a 60-160 pull. Blew when he was slowing down after the pull (engine down revving)

Recently?
Houston dealer take care of it?

 

[killr3v]

Yeah under hesitant warranty lol. They apparently didn't do a very good job either. He said all the wiring was half assed.

 

[D98GT]

Hopefully I will be covered if anything happens to me haha.

 

[lostsoul]

Sucks. Isn't that like the 4th or 5th car for brenspeed?

 

[DIB5.0]

It seems like its the tuners who are offering either aggressive or race tunes.
You do not hear anything about VMP, Amazon ect.

Pushing too many ponies on stock internals?

Pushing too many ponies with a tune (15-20hp) ? when there are 550whp 5.0's running around healthy as a horse? Makes no sense this does.

^It make sense to me. When it's been over 90 degrees the computer pulls too much timing. When you get over 4k the dynamic compression goes up. #8 apparently runs the hottest. The possibility of a email tune running on the lean side. You'll see this continue for guys that want to dog their car in the extreme heat till the weather breaks.

If I had one of those 11+ GTs, I'd definitely rip that 5.0L out ASAP and throw a 3V into it.

I'm such a nice guy that I'll even offer my 3V as an even trade to any of your 5.0L guys who are worried and want to make the swap.

The 5.0 guys didn't read the fine print when purchasing to meet global warming and the greenhouse effect.

It plainly states:

Page 4: Second paragraph:

To save fuel, the car will drop a cylinder............literally.



LOL!!!! 3V FTW!!!

u two are Winning

He said pushing too many ponies.

 

[Rob72]

My mistake.

 

[302]

The hell is that supposed to mean?

 

[stkjock]

one would think will all the hype over this issue, 5.0 guys would learn not to post such occurrences.

One would need to have just a tad bit more common sense brother.

 

[Rob72]

I've seen a few suggest to replace it with the FRPP but doesn't it come with the same cast rings as a stock block?

 

[jayman33]

What are some companies people would suggest to get a block from? BBR, MMR, livernois, etc? Just curious, might just get that done while putting the blower one.

Two posters claimed that 5 to 6 have popped with Brenspeed tunes. This is the first one I have read about. I would be kind of surprised if it were true. Anyone have links to these failures or is this just I heard from a friend of a friend type of info.

 

[fdjizm]

But if they pop 5 and 6 we will have to make a different nickname for them .

 

[Rob72]

A Brenspeed race tune will get you through the traps at over 114 mph. It just might not get you home lol.

 

[bullitt boy]

Sorry didn't mean the piston itself , I thought they were talking about the # of engines that were popped with a Brenspeed tune.I just find it hard to believe it is 5 or 6, if that were the case Brent / Brenspeed would have fixed the problem by now if in fact it is tune related. Am I a fan of Brenspeed yes I am, they have done quite a bit of work on my ride and it has always been top notch.
