#8 Failures, Which Tune Are You Running?
#21
Seriously. Well as of right now we can ignore the Steeda and Amazon vote. I'll try to pm a mod if they don't see this thread so they can make the edits.
#22
Also, to PureSpeedMotorsports, did you ever contact Bama about your problem? If so, what did they say? They are the only company currently offering a warranty with their tune.
#23
this is no joking matter to anyone..the tuners or the people having issues..they are trying to sort it out and find a common denominater for what is causing the failures..we need facts from the persons effected directly

reminds me of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPYtCNu3pTU
But seriously OP, this poll/thread needs to be started over w/ an option for tune w/no problems so its more clear

I'd like to hear this too. I talked to Bama as recently as last week and they said they had no knowledge of a car with their tune popping #8. Ever. He said "not one person has called us and said 'I was running your tune and my car burnt #8' ever. And we ship hundreds of tunes"

Hey guys & gals
If this #8 failure is related to cylinder temps I would strongly recommend Redline's WatterWetter. I have used it for years on all my race cars & it does make a substantial difference in cooling temps. Cheap & easy to install.

Hope this helps.

I talked to the top guru at Steeda at length about all of this nonsense today . I will try to start a new detailed thread from my PC when I get a chance (I'm on Droid). Basically, The cooling on the #8 cylinder of this block is nothing new. companies dyno racing trying to get better numbers than the next guy by leaning the a/f definitely isn't helping the inherent issue of this block that dates back to the DOC 4.6 . Steeda is in the hottest part of the country so heat is always part of their testing and tuning. More to come...
