Replace the plugs, get a REAL TUNER to do the tune, and drive the car for a while.

+1 GET A REAL TUNER to tune it and beat the hell out of it it will be like any other 600 hp car it might make it 100 mi or 20000 mi who knows , your in Cal. call Adam at ST and get a real tune on it.

 

[ZmanM3]

I agree with everyone else. Its high time you get a tuner that knows their stuff, i.e. ADAM @ ST!

Looks like an "epic fail" response to the "un gap HT's" thread...

It's a credit to the shortblock that it still has 8 rods in there given how often it seems to be detonating...

I already tried that route before and didn't work out for me. I have decided not to blow 500 bills for a tune on a car that can go at anytime. Thats not the purpose of this car. With that $ and the 1200 bush is sending me personally That will pay for the tear down and install. All thats left is what the engine mechanic will charge for parts and labor. I'm tried of F'ing with this car and have been though more BS then posted. I have talked to Forcefed and as long as they build the engine and do the tune it will be warrantied as long as its something they are responsible for.

I hope when the pistons come out they dont look like this but seems like we might of had some of the same issues. And also what fuel rail set up do you have ? Is it the Areomotive rails ?

 

[retfr8flyr]

Those are some nasty looking pistons.

I have the MMR fuel rails. and with all the months of crap the car has been through I would not be surprised

 

[thump_rrr]

Is this the same bank that was timed backwards when the engine was put together originally?

errrrrrrr... I'm not sure.. that was long ago and Larry H's GF banned me.. haha Michael might remember. But that was fixed long ago. It was underivable that way. I need a Canadian Tuner!

 

[lostsoul]

soon the motor will be out. I'm planning with sticking with the mmr setup with 9.3:1 compression. Will probably use the same type Manely dish pistons. Should I have all the rings replaced and type? With my setup what hp should i go for? With built motor twin gt pumps, 60lbs injectors.

Not again.....

 

[Herknav]

deja vu?

 

[cekim]

deja vu?

all over again...

There's never time or money to do it right, but there is always time and money to do it 2X. I learned that at a defense contractor...
