You actually bought something from RPMOUTLET!? Man those guys have a really bad reputation.... I thought everyone was aware of this by now... sorry man.

Great mileage? Are we all to expect, at the most, 93k miles on our motors?

I was thinking that as well... that's pretty pathetic. My friend's LT1 has had like 10 oil changes in its life and hes got 90K+ with no issues

This is not the first time I have seen the wrong predator for the application do this type of damage. I seriously doubt DiabloSport will accept any blame for this and if Caballo was to get any compensation it would be from Rpmoutlet. I have never dealt with them, so I don't know what they will do if anything.

A 5.4 2V will make Torque, but less HP than a similar 4.6L.

WOW that sucks! Man, I know that the wrong timing and/or fuel can cause detonation...but jeeze just an instant kill on an N/A engine????
Must have had a TON of timing in the tune and lettle fuel...thats the best I can do, or MAYBE it wasnt the tuner and was your cars time to go (unlikely, but still possable) . It wasnt your fault at all though man, unless you have been driving around @ redline quite often lol...also, did MAYBE the tune remove the rev limiter and you simply over revved it? I know some people shift when their cars hit the rev limiter, so you never know.

Can you afford a proper build right now, or are you just planning to pull the old one out and look around for another engine?
I can afford whatever I want to do, it's gettin past my "financial planner" that makes the task more difficult then just sayin' I want that and that and that and that...
Problem is I'm traveling and only here until March 2 for sure so regardless of what I can "afford" I've got to be relatively quick about the decision I make. I can do the swap myself, but I'm not just buying parts, I'm also picking up tools, supplies etc...
I'm just lucky my company got me out an apartment and into a house...
Well tonight I disconnected the AC and PS and starter and H-pipe and the harness from the block. I think tomorrow I'll disconnect the MotorMounts and the tranny... we'll see how it goes...
