DBMSTNG said:Tim will tune it safe. it's unsafe if it's running too much timing or too lean. ofcoarse there is a limit to the amount of power you can run too.
WillDuhhBeast said:Just curious, what gives you that confidence?
WillDuhhBeast said:Some people say it safe to run it at 450 rwhp and ill be fine. Some people don't agree.
how much does it cost to forge internals? Id honestly like to get that done..

Absolutely true. After switching to MPH almost a year ago, I will never let anyone else touch my car. Not only can Tim make power, he is a freaking perfectionist when it comes to "streetability." I just dropped my car at MPH today because Tim wants to improve on the street tune. I'm not sure why. I thought it was running fine, but he was not satisfied with it. Maybe he has a big race this week.Ghostface said:Is that a fact? I mean, I know he's one of the most well respected tuners, but is it true that a car he's tuned has "never" blown a motor?

o3redfire said:it is going to be hit or miss, some engines do fine while others will not last, my engine on a "safe" tune by a reputable tuner blew on my first 1/4 mile run, probably bad gas, so you never know. You gotta pay to play, even if your engine lasts you could blow your rear or tranny...
I am by no means an expert on this , Jim. I am just repeating what one of the guys at MPH told me, but it was in reference to a blown application, not turbo, so it might not apply.jimfitzgerald said:I don't agree it's "hit or miss." If you have a good engine builder and tuner it should be a rare event that you would blow an engine. And the rest of your setup should be built to withstand what the motor delivers.
I'm talking about any application. The odds should be a lot better than "hit or miss" if you have a good engine builder and tuner. Obviously, there are the rare events that can happen, but with a good build and good tune, you should not have to worry about blowing your engine unless you over-rev it or something such as that.o3redfire said:I am by no means an expert on this , Jim.

laserred, I knew I was pushing the envelope with the 10 lb's, and really wanted a reason to build the bottom end, OK, my wife would not understand why I needed to rebuild a perfectly "good" engine, so it had to break !
