5 months of downtime + engine ran for 260 miles and 2 days, little upsetting for me but **** happens... just have to keep wrenchen...

 

May the wrenches turn. It isn't like this will matter all to much in twenty years.

So what was the cause? What kind of plugs are those?

A 6 heat range plug at that power level on pump has could have definitely played a part.

For the power level it was making at that boost level on pump gas, i'm sure it had a lot of timing as well, probably another huge factor. It was definitely detonation that killed it.

I heard there was significantly more ignition timing on that car than the yellow one.

And a log manifold makes a HUGE difference in the knock limit on those engines.

The tune between those two cars should be VERY different.

#6 plugs, base map and kaboom. Why spend all that time and money to kill it?

Chris called me and asked me about the ign. timing, he said there was about 7 more deg. of timing than his map had in boost.

Who "tuned" it?
