thats very odd that happened, i could understand a higher hp but for 330? hmm cant figure out what could have caused that. im gonna have to go with everyone else on this possibly a bad tune or bad gas.

Everyone beat me to it Bad tune gets my vote. But that is only if Dynoflash didn't do the "custom" flash.

+1 for possible bad tune. Who tuned your car? The numbers are way too low to blow the motor.

I agree with every single guy that has said BAD TUNE... so when ever you see your thread.. plz elaborate on the tunning of your EVO.. def. way to low to blow up.. its possible but not common..

It would help if you post your map as for your mods maybe we can determine something by comparing it to others..

Dang that sucks, but at least you have the experience to repair the car and get it running again.

Get outta here. What time did you do it on the robert moses? Im from Merrick and Bayshore and usually take drives out to the robert moses beach with my girl on sundays. Or was it in the morning by captree for the usually "old guy" meets...

Sorry to hear man... What mechanic did you bring it to? Ricky at top level?

Good to know that you tried both AMS and BR blocks first hand before coming to this conclusion.

Both are great builders...Pick the one that suits YOU the most and more convenient.

cant say who did my tune, they are on this forum, you guys are prob 100% right about the tune though, unfortunately i made the mistake and did not go to Al or sean ivey...etc......ill find out exactly what happened later on, i took the car to "my" shop im a mechanic and do all the work on my car...besides the tuning obviously.
