I've seen the graphs Joe. Just not smart enough to understand them Still waiting on that thread from Gene.
I understand what you're saying, but you've got to admit there have been more than a few failures in 80e that have occurred in what should be considered the "safe" zone in that graph. Cruising down the road at 40 mph with less than 3psi boost is hardly a condition that should end up in a windowed block.
Whatever the bad points are in your graph for 80e, do they become exponentially worse as the tunes jump up to 120 or 140? From what I've seen here (I know you have first hand experience with this so that should count for more than me just reading threads) many failures have come while mildly cruising down the road after some big event. Perhaps an hairline crack in an extreme tune finally fails after a couple of miles, and it ends up being in 80e just due to that being the default daily driver setting?

From what I've read, this seems to be common. Bill's tunes don't seem to kick in as fast so it can throw the butt dyno off. Gonna have to get on the rollers to see what's really going on.

So you had that kind of power but never got into it? What was the point then?
It was getting ready to be built. After reading up on the concerns that many people posted to my threads Joe, Marty, and a few others I decided I would build it. However it didnt last 1 week. Long story short I got an Expensive Lesson.
