I have a few friends (acquaintances) that have used Excessive, good and bad but never bad enough that they were the cause of a eaten piston due to a tune.


Just in case you do not know, a lot of times when a Terminator engine is hurt you won't know it until you hear rod knock from the loss of oil due to a piston being damaged. I have seen one hurt a piston and it never smoked or even acted like it lost power...it just loses oil.


If you have any questions fee free to hit me up. I don't have all the answers, but I've been around these cars for a few years now and know a little bit about them.

I always tell people to do a compression test or leak down test if they buy a Terminator or a Terminator engine.

If yours was all stock, then maybe you got a virgin.

I wasn't trying to be "that guy" with a low guess, I'm just saying with your weight it isn't going to take much to move that car and you said you'd rather be conservative than radical with the tune.
