The Carnage!!!! (pics added)

So...

I'm fiddle with my diablosport predator tuner. I converted everything back to the original tune... Started to read the whole manual to see what's up. make sure I didn't screw anything up. I see where it warns about the 91 Octane. and to retard the timing 10% in each field.(2-4kand 4-7k) to avoid knocking sense the program is for 93. Done.

And then...

I go for a spin. Going easy slowly workin up the revs to about 4k. Looking forward to the onramp cause it feels a lil bit stronger.

Onramp.

Light goes green.

Two turn lanes. Wait until things straighten out and...

Hit it!

WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH- BOOM


gaararrrrarrrr....


Pretty sure I threw a rod. No visible hole in the oil pan and oil all over the driver side inner fender...

I'll get pics as soon as I can get the Stang in the Garage. We live on a hill and I'm gonna wait till the guys get here...


I'll decide which route to take when I tear her down.

To add a lil' fuel to the fire. I was on DS.com and according to the website RPMOUTLET.COM sold me a dealer only with no programming (u7000) instead of the U7146 they were supposed to. So I downloaded the program (.crom file) into the Predator and you see the result. But the stang has been running with whatever was in there before the download and I retard the timing...

who knows...

So no recourse for getting the wrong programmer?

Damn that sucks bro. Hopefully the block can be saved and you can build off of it, but it doesnt sound that way.

so being sent the wrong thing, which damages your stuff is not the fault of the person that sent the wrong thing in the first place? That sounds pretty ****ed up to me.
