Default Southern Speed tunes blowing engines

They said over on the f150ecoboost forum that T5 has already blown three engines. Sean recalled that tune and blamed it on SCT.
He now calls the new tune T-rex or something like that.

Glad that I didn't go with that guy.

Who makes a SAFE tune? I just need enough power to outrun a couple of ricers.

Nice 1st post!

Where in Booneville are you? I know the area.

And great supporting evidence to your claim! You are adding value to this forum.

I was running T5BM and ran the **** out of it and my engine hasn't blown.

I dug around on http://www.f150ecoboost.net/forum/forum.php and I can't find anything about or related to "T5 has already blown three engines. Sean recalled that tune and blamed it on SCT. He now calls the new tune T-rex or something like that."

Pics or it didn't happen!

The two fastest guys have left Southern Speed. ecofx86 just posted some data from the tune, it runs lean and high knock count.
sean bans them to shut them up. first setxathlete and now ecofx.

You got the owners saying this or the brothers ex-wifes cousin 3 times removed then added back in?

Hey I figured out how to time travel! Wanna know how? Well Im not telling but its true so you have to believe me!

People are looking for tunes and to spread information without any proof is BS! I am in the market and hurting someones living by spreading rumors is down right wrong.

That snap shot of a data log info?

The motor was running no timing(2.5), and the knock count at that moment was in the decimal places(like 0.19 or something like that).......they don't know what the hell they are looking at.

Go log your stock tune and see what you see during those same conditions.

Go log ANYONES tow tunes and see what you see.

They hype isn't real!
