car was running silly rich afrs down at the 10`s :angry: made 202bhp and 140ftlb so knew that this wasnt right turned out the mapping wasnt correct so got then afrs corrected made 221 and 148 ftlb but it was to late the engine was starting to show signs of packing in ( loads of metal on sump plug and death rattle at start up )



and to finish it off hit a bad bump and flattened then manifold :angry2:

looks like you've had a poor run of luck with the car. good to see its sorted now! not a fan of the stickered up lip but hay thats just me! heard some bad reports on those eagle forged cranks, hopefully you'll have no bother with it. as you've already had enough troubles with the car!
 
was the car not mappewd correctly when u bought it??


does it still have the same spec as when it was dyno'd at over 240bhp
 
yeh it was rebuilt before i bought it but the mapping wasnt correct it was overfueling and way way to much ignition so it started to take its toll

all sorted now but :)
 
Welcome mate hope you enjoy the car and get it out on track were it belongs:nice:

Was the it just the head or whole long block done by TDP??

Even still Id be marching back up to him and looking for a free solution if its warrantied.
