Props for a man who's not afraid to show pics of carnage. Now only if Obama would jump on the bandwagon and release his pics...

U MUST CHECK CHECK CHECK or bad things can happen.

U must find someone knowledable to help with the setup, tuning.
GOD KNOWS IT AINT ME, I'M A JACKASS

Personally I really bad for Brian, he is a real good guy and vey humble.
He is in capable hands and I look forward to seeing him out there competing.

I know how much it cost to mantain this kind of car and it is NOT CHEAP.
I for one applaud him and his crew for there fortitude and I know Brian will be in the winners circle soon
You got it all wrong. I was given a tune from a very similar car. I went though the entire tune and verified everything. when I hit SAVE AS, it changed that one value. Of course I accept blame for not catching that that one value later (but it was originally correct).

Nonetheless, there is a dangerious quirk in BS3. If the MAP reads boost...there should never be a reason that the lookup should go to vaccum part of the table. John needs to modify BIGCOMM such that it ensures that each value of the load and rpm table is in ascending order and give the user an error if it is not!

Would your motor have been covered under any of his insurance options? It's obviously hindsight, but that would be ackward to turn in that claim! haha.
Its well over 4K/yr for that insurance on ODR last I saw. It wouldn't have covered what happened to me. Only if the damage was due to a wreck or fire, etc.

I think you need a new thread in the eastern section. One NOT titled "uh oh"
