Didn't he just have motor trouble? Never got the full story but his https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/auto...vation-238573/ thread implies he did. And blamed oil starvation with a baffled pan? Not blaming trifecta but, kinda curious.

um.. A tune has nothing at all to do with that oil starvation issue. He is tracking his car and when you race under the conditions he does ANY cobalt would have that same issue. Its not the tune.

no ****, just didn't know what failed on his motor. Didn't know if it was for sure an oil starvation issue, Cylinder washing or detonation. I just don't want to speculate cause I don't know the whole story.

He has a spun #3 rod bearing. As much as I dislike TF, it would be difficult or impossible to conclude that a tune could cause a spun bearing. If it was detonating bad enough to lead to a spun bearing, there should be evidence on top of the piston. If the top of the piston looks ok, then it's just plain old oil starvation. As far as I know, there was no evidence to show detonation on the top of #3 piston.

Venom, feel free to chime in here.
