It seems like the #8 cylinder failure has been getting out of hand on the forums lately. I've seen a couple threads where people post about their personal cars and their problems with #8 and then everyone jumps in and says they know so and so that had the same problem with x tune. I've also read about people hearing stock cars and cars with the FRPP tune that have had failures as well. I figured it would be nice to see a poll for the actual people who have had a problem and which tune they were running. This is for people who have problems with their 5.0 and their #8 cylinder. Please do not vote for someone else you may have heard of having a situation.

I made the poll with the most common tunes. If you select other, please indicate in the comments section which tune your running.

 

Note: I voted Steeda but have no issues but good ones with my Steeda 93 tune. My bad, I clicked the wrong place on the poll.

 

xlover were did you see or hear an Amazon tune has failed? Just talk to Linn at Amazon and she said they have not had one #8 go.

 

That is what everybody should be indicating; which octane tune these guys were running when they popped the #8.

Just my guess, is that most of these #8's will be a 93 tune. Get some bad gas/wrong octane, and a hot day. "POP"

 

Thanks for clearing that up. Maybe a mod can edit the poll to remove you from that section.

 

As a reminder, please don't vote if you see or hear a tune has failed. Only vote if it has happened to your car.

 

Running the Steeda 93 octane tune here and no issues so far. Car has 7500 miles on it.

 

I have no clue who xlover is..

at Amazon to date we have not been contacted by anyone claiming that our tune is responsible for a #8 failure or any other issues.

unless he can come up with a customer name,either himself or the person suppossed to have our tune then his claim is unsubstantiated and nothing more than an attempt to discredit

whoever he is referring to needs to contact us

thank you for making this a public poll so that we can see who posted..this subject needs to be based in facts.. there is too much potential for fraud in a poll like this and there are tuners reps at stake here

 

Henson performance tune and no problems.

 

Steeda 93 no problemo.

 

Same

 

Are the cars with cylinder #8 failures mostly 2011's or 12's, or is it pretty evenly mixed? I've read on here that some untuned cars have had these failures, so I'm curious as to whether it's related to some sort of QC issue with the new 12's. I have steeda intake and tune and have taken my car on 2k + mile trip and haven't had any issues, and my car is driven pretty hard (it's an 11 by the way).

 

I've read threads with both years suffering from the problem. I've also read about others who "heard" about stock cars with cylinder problems which is why I started this thread. People like to spread rumors and post everywhere about something they heard without proof.

 

LOL you weren't supposed to respond then

 

BBR tune 18k and no problems. IT'S MY DAILY!!!!

 

Brothers daily popped an 8 a few days back. He was running a brenspeed and a cai. We'll see
I know I wasn't sposed to vote because it wasn't my car but I know the car personally. Burnt plug smoky the whole sheBANG

 

Does Brenspeed notified?

 

Was Brenspeed notified?

 

actually i thought amazon was a joke, an attempt at sarcastic humor by the OP like you could get a tune at amazon.com, i didnt google them till after. you should edit me out of the poll, i tried to delete it myself

apologies

 

I didn't vote because I fit a category with no voting option- I ran Bama 91 street tune for a while with no problems, removed as a preventative measure until we know what's what.



Oh, this poll is off to a good start!
