Ok so In all my great ideas I self tuned my car..... overboosted and lifted the head. So now I need to know from anyone who knows first hand, where should I send my head to get ported and what gains if any did they see. I have some ideas but any help would be great. And yes the second I get everything back I will be sending it over to seanivey to get a pro tune. I called them to set up an appointment but blew the head the NEXT DAY!!!

ivey can port it for you

 

Get some L19's

 

HeadGames is near Trenton. Their work is art. Many big tuning shops use HeadGames. You can save some $$$ by going local.

Good luck!

 

Head games. Ivey uses them. I got my head done there. Great work.

 

he might not have an engine if he did this with arp L19.

 

Sorry to hear. How did it happen? What boost level?

 

+1

 

Not to down the OP's tune ,but headgaskets dont just blow with alittle extra boost with a proper tune. Detonation or something else was causing the studs to slowly stretch. ARP L19 he could have potentially over pressurized the cylinder walls and chucked a rod through the block without the venting of the head. Standard ARP's are a good safety blanket.

 

It happened by me just being a fool. I was messing around with the tune and I put the boost to 30 psi and it blew. Didn't mean to put the boost so high. Sad thing is I have some headstuds to put in I was just waiting to get the cams in. I'm honestly glad it was the headstuds that was the weak point of the engine and not anything else. I honestly think it was the crap tune that did this and not the boost, I could not get the tuning stuff down ever since I put new injectors in.

well said my friend. If you need any assistance pm me. In all honesty do not put L19's in it unless you need to boost 40psi+
