Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!

First two blew up on E85, this will be the 3rd engine, will be running 93, and getting a professional tune this time.

The bigger your setup and the further you push it, the less margin for error there is. Long story short, he ran too much boost on the stock block and too high of a compression ratio on his first built block. Combine that with an inexperienced tuner, especially on E85, and it's a recipe for disaster. Shit happens, learn from your mistakes, and move on from there. This car will be back bigger and badder very soon and with a good tune should be very reliable for a long time. The plan is to drive it cross-country and bring it on the Spring Cruise
