I am pretty sure it was due to the 10# of boost, damn tranny shifting @ 6800 instead of 6100 and running out of fuel.

Time to order a new engine.

Does the stock pcm allow individual cylinder fuel or ignition trims ? If so, perhaps adding some fuel, or retarding timing to no7 slightly may help prevent that sort of thing happening ?

Although it does seem on std motor, its only a matter of time ?

Well that sucks you waited so long for those heads and now not long afterward this. I never got the same 6.0 FI heads from Jay and I blew my motor on 10lbs also, oh well this kind of crap happens. Get a new shortblock and have some fun.

Well, you gotta pay to play. I went in knowing this.

It sucks that not everyone got their stuff. I am just glad I got something.

Should be ordering one soon.

You can't do that.

And I am sure that if I didn't run out of fuel, I would have been fine.
