I agree as tuning to be the culprit in most cases. Improper tunes WILL destroy any vehicle. People should care about their work and not the money. Not enough integrity out there these days, too much focus on making the quick buck.

Funny thing is those tuners end up having the car on their dyno twice as long and it turns into a real PITA. Takes just as much time to do it right as when you are screwing things up and spend that much time fixing a simple issue if you just didn't rush.

Stop and think. Best advice I have ever been given

I would say the part causing head scratching for me is when they are tuners that have tuned our cars before and they are gernading them...just seem messed up!

Complaisance&complacency Joe. It's a killer

Hi. Where do you get upgraded mafs from?

Thanks!

Believe UpRev sells some

I have stock MAFs on my car, and the Greddy MAF tube is 2.75". I am right near the end of MAF voltage and I made 586rwhp at 9.1psi on the dyno... and i often hit 10-10.5 psi on the street. My MAF voltages are coming within 100ths of a volt to 5.0v lol. Whenever I go to do some more tuning this year I will either upgrade the sensors or put some 3" MAF tubes in.

I already have 3" MAF tubes so as far as I'm concerned I'm just screwed. Going to be handing UpRev some more of my money haha. Oh well, as long as its for the race car I know it went to a good cause :D.

UpRev MAF GT - Accessories

Here's a link to the upgraded MAFs for anyone looking for some basic info on them. Unless your on a built block though 37winner I don't think you'll be needing them.

S.N. if I could get this damned tablet to charge I'd have some pictures uploaded ffs!

Anyone know of anybody parting out a junk long block!? They could pick my pockets just a bit! :tiphat:

I have a junk long block, but its pretty junk. Someone gave it to me years ago, I was saving it to use for a build. Tore some of it down just before winter, its pretty messed up. What do you need?

Charles ill take some pictures of the pieces I need tonight at the shop and shoot you some pics. That cool?

for sure let me know. i dont think i am going to use any of it. its from valvecover to oil pans... no manifolds or accessories were on it.

pics added :tup:
. . . lol

Wow poor stock Rods at least the block is still good.

Yep I don't think I could have gotten any more lucky honestly cliff. That could have went real bad, real quick. From the looks of the pre detonation it appears it was about too. Oh well everything for my short block rebuild should be here around late next week or early the following! Pretty excited for that: ended up going with 9:1 pistons. Had another run in with dynosty so I've decided I don't want to push the build back another 6 weeks and have gone with the "off the shelf" option. Not to mention after speaking with Charles on what CP charged him to personally buy a set of 10:1 pistons I think ill pass.

SN: I'm going to have to bump up to premium membership if I keep it up with all these photos! :D
