Have a great day all. Remember not to stop moving blades or gears with your hands or genitals, always use somebody else's.

Oh, I’ll be keeping your pup in my thoughts, ours is at the vet right now with the wifey for his every six month checkup. Hope all goes well, he’s almost 11. :eek: Seems like yesterday he was just a tiny puppy.

I remember those damn CD's AOL would send through the mail and I remember when they billed by the hour and would state "100000 hours free"

I can attest to that. The Katy Freeway, which is the western Houston part of I-10, is the most traveled freeway in the nation. My office is on the feeder of I-10. Thankfully I’m only on it for a mile before I get off it.

Train wreck in the tuning department. Folks are vouching for Eugene. That is fine but he does have some limitations. Experience. Knowing what the engine can do and can't do that very few people have.

Eugene is a nice enough guy. But yeah lack of experience is a bit concerning. A tune is not exactly the place I want to cut corners on. Although I know that Ecutek knock sensor is a weird one for some people. You gotta do a little work to be sure it's just overly sensitive sensor and not actual knock.

Well, what ya gonna do if you have detonation and your knock sensor doesn't pick it up? With E85, that can happen. Blow a headgasket, break a ring land, and the engine shows signs of detonation but you don't see in your logs. Mostly happens to folks on pump E85.
My engine builder told me to be on barrel E85 if running the higher boost settings. Ignite Red or Ethanol One R.

I think they both ended up lowering the sensitivity on the knock sensor on the advice of their tuner. Trying to remember who they were and which tuners. But I can't find it right now.
