I can't answer that but I would think 16 psi, 125 nitrous and meth would be a driving time bomb. Or at least a bitch to tune.

Sucks to hear.

If you want to run deeper into the 9s I would do a combo that makes power easier instead of something being wrung out for every last pony. Swap a TT or Ysi on there and run mid/low 9s with ease instead of the maggie/n2o.

You should have one.
My daily driver supercharged Avalanche has one,I log often,and that's the first thing I look at is the AFR.
But yes,when your running that much boost and NOS on top,things cam happens VERY quick.

Didn't you just rebuild the motor after the fest because of the same issue?

I am very disappointed and disgusted with this outcome, trust me.

I'll be making major changes in the future.

Sucks to hear this. A few things I have learned on this crazy HP journey.....
For one thing, a dyno pull is nowhere near as hard on things as a full run. I have experienced where everything looks great on the dyno, and then on a full pass fuel pressure drops, temps are higher, afr's can get wacky. The best thing is to log full passes starting with easy runs and working to full throttle runs to make sure everything is good.
This season, I drove my car almost daily, with never any issue at all. Nothing... but every time I went to the track, I broke something. I am starting to consider keeping my car a fun 10 second driver, and maybe get something else just for the track if I get that bug next year. A dedicated track car can be put together with different considerations, and not be so sensitive.

Sorry to read this... Hopefully whatever you do next is less of a headache. I'm trying to piece together everything to supercharge mine and be safe. Of course it's no where near what your car was making.

Who's gonna cover the cost of fixing the motor?

Nitroman28 · 10-21-2013, 09:29 PM

Sorry to hear about your car. I would be asking the tuner what the hell happened. If it ran out of fuel that's on them.

That'd be me. And the trans too.
