Was the meth used in the tune or just spraying to keep the iat's down?
Might have stopped spraying and caused it to do that if the car was reliant on the meth

That's exactly why I was asking haha. Seeing that on an NA car makes me want to ensure I'm not doing the same thing! That sucks man... Hopefully you get back up and running quick. That ERL block is gonna be nice.

So you had nitrous on the car??

f5journal · 04-22-2014, 02:00 PM

What's the issue with it being number 7...I keep hearing this. Is there a design issue in the intake runner or head

BplumCrazy-SS · 04-22-2014, 02:09 PM

Nope no nitrous

Poor fuel distribution from the stock rails to the rear cylinders.

Pro Stock John · 04-22-2014, 02:32 PM

Oh sorry I misread. So you lost #7 from the tune? Was the tune on kill?

menendez1293 · 04-22-2014, 02:32 PM

Just take the spark plug out, you should be able to get a few runs in that way

In all seriousness that really sucks, hate to see this continue to happen.

Were the knock sensors turned off or something? Sorry to hear about that but jeezz I don't hardly if ever see stuff like that on a NA setup.

BplumCrazy-SS · 04-22-2014, 04:51 PM

Knock sensors were still on

axis · 04-22-2014, 05:39 PM

Was the sensitivity turned down?
