I went back to his cal file and discovered at 19 psi the car had roughly 3 degrees more timing, then what i had tuned it for at 22 - 23 psi. Could this of been enough to damage his motor, maybe at 400+ hp's. I can do nothing more then stand by what i did and what i've accomplished as a tuner and as a shop owner. Rick did 400 miles a week for 5 months without an issue, and beat the hell out of his car.

We're finally on at the same time.........cool. Your post above does sum this up. I hope you're being following what I'm saying because youre right.........I've put quite a few miles on the 4BANGR since then, and had a hell of a time pounding the crap out of it. I did leave happy, I WAS happy, and still have no complaints about what u did for me. I was just questioning what could have gone wrong, and the knock control came up.....Dude you know me well enough to realize I wont talk shi+ about you. I have re-read my initial post that started this and realize it could have been used for all these little gossip queens on this forum that come to just TROLL around, and probably are clueless about half the crap we've discussed so far. For that I apologize to you directly
but I hope like I said we're on the same page........If not, I'll mail you a consolation prize of 1 HUGE keg of 
and walk away.........I'll take what u throw at me........ball is in your court Dude..........I'm my behalf it's whiskey under the bridge

FRENCHTOAST if you will. (If you look at it rationally you can't blame pruven). then the customer calls and we say bring it down, customer says is this gonna cost me, we say if it our fault we will take care of it. customer never showed up, just like rick never went back to you and gave you a chance to make it right(kinda sucks don't it) funny bolth of these cars were tuned buy YOU. so stop pointing fingers and stay on the tech side of this post.
peace

Your drowning ... As soon as the car got on the dyno it was making noise, actually he didnt make good power. Rationally , do you find it odd that the two bearings you " slapped " in juans car , are the same bearings that were wiped out hours later. Amuse me and tell me how the crank got bent and the same two bearings were " toast " ...

p.s. do you need pics of the crank as well, i doubt you can see .006 out of round from a pic, much like you didnt see it when you put new bearings in the car ..

The Autronic has no knock control, but the good tuners in the UK don't seem to have a problem with it.
its not just the tuner is the gas when ur runing pump gas you can epect that to happen i dont think the tuners realy are at fault if the drivers run pump gas
