well, heres the update so far.. talked to HKS on monday, and the lady told me that i need to email their tech support and explain to them what happened, mods on the car etc etc. They will take the unit in and inspect it, if it was faulty, then they will replace it under warranty, if not i have to pay $120 for the process.

about the tune, i really doubt that it has something to do with it, I ran a HPDE before with no problems. car has 11600 Miles on it right now, evo green, cosworth 272 cams, tbe.. etc etc.

As soon as i get the HKS twin fire looked at, and im hoping that it gets replaced.. im going to sell it and get the sparktech Non-CDI unit.
For now, thanks for all input guys

Do it, you won't regret it.

I will have to head out to one of these track days. Looks like fun.
