Looking at when you joined I imagine we probably got our tunes around the same time. I can honestly say my intense tune was pretty good for a canned tune. Yeah I raced my car it's been a long while though, I've probably raced 5 times in the past year. I'm not blaming my motor being blown on anything. Ever since I first got my car I figured it was only a matter or time, I never felt these pistons would hold up worth a ****. Once I get my car back I'm going to put my 3 inch back on, get a heat exchanger, and get it dyno tuned if I have the money.

My original thought was that he could be running the 2.5 and the 42s I just figured he had a boost controller on. I figured that would be good to get that sucker to like 17psi or whatever real quick!

Hell in my opinion lol, might as well get you some forged pistons, and get some head work done, thats what I am gonna do if that **** happens to me, and get you a twin screw from rebel, and goto town ;P

well... I'm not going to build the motor anymore. Last night I decided I'm just going to swap a used short block or motor into the car and trade it in. I can not wait to get rid of this piece of **** (for all who try and say it's not, you do not know the amount of time my car has been in the shop for warranty work)
aaah so this is where the PM came from lol.
sorry to hear that man. If you cylinder walls are stil good, I can send you the stock rods and pistons I have laying around... 8k miles and in very good shape

just look at Phil (darksun) he had $23,000 in warranty work done to his car in the span of 2 years. My car has been fine... others around here have had issues too... I guess some people just lucked out and got a car built midweek and not on a Friday lol

Well it has been decided today that my motor is blown. For the past week my car has been pushing oil up and past the oil cap. Today I brought it to the dealership and the shop foreman came out and took a look. I cranked my car and when the oil cap was removed it was pushing air out VERY hard. We disconnected my injectors and started cranking it and you can hear a strange noise. The foreman says I have a cracked piston. The crazy thing about it is I haven't raced anyone in probably six months and out the middle of nowhere this happens. I'm bringing it to the shop Wednesday when I will hopefully find out the extent of the damage. I just replaced the clutch a few months ago so I'm tossing around the idea of building my car for nitrous.

just hit me up and let me know man. I'm not re-using the stock parts at all in the new motor, so they're just sitting up at C/A collecting dust lol
