A wise man I once knew told me: "If it is smarter than you , don't f*ck with it. Find someone who is smarter than it and learn from them." Tuning can be learned by anyone but it a very good thing to have a seasoned pro handy to go over what you are doing before you do it. Not ragging on you just offering some advice.

1. you had never done a cam swap on an lsx based motor before.
2. you proceeded to drop a lifter into the motor, rookie move
3. somehow along the way the owner decided/had to get a head swap since you dropped the lifter into the motor
4. you then proceeded to "tune" his car after you had completed the install of all the parts.
5. you stated YOURSELF that there was no problems with oil pressure/motor when you fired it up and started tuning.
6. the knocking started AFTER you took it to 4500rpm to finish your tuning, like you stated.

get your facts straight, before you start trying to get yourself look like the victim on here.

oh, and the whole "respect" thing? come on. this isnt fast and the furious.

im curious if a wideband was used during this tune??or were you going off fuel trims and narrow bands.......were the injectors scaled correctly??if you have a scan send it and the tune to me.....id also like to see it....
