A much bigger badder rebuild of course.

That happened on one of my chryslers a few years ago using that SCT Bullsh...

One thing I can't stress enough is the importance of tuning ON THE DYNO. I'll never install someone's guesstitune again. And you have no one to blame but yourself if you do and it goes bad.

I just laughed it off and placed a very big parts order that night...you know, to make myself feel better.

YES to Custom CHASSIS DYNO tuning.

If you have little metal fragments on the plugs, like big pieces of pepper, I would immediately stop beating on the car. Those can be signs of detonation. Looks like it to me.

You should not dick around with Torco IMO. I would just tune for 91 and enjoy the car.
