His setup is more aggressive then yours currently, and honestly it all lies in the tune. But once you go outside the confines of the factory box, anything can happen....bad gas, a dirty injector....it only takes one bad combustion event to ruin a motor. Honestly I think it’s hilarious just how much boost a coyote can take, Ford really overbuilt these things for being NA from the factory. When I say your gen 1 is “weaker” then a gen 2 or 3, it’ll still take 600whp pretty reliabily lol....hardly weak.

And to put your mind at ease, with the lower RPM you are turning, the safety goes up exponentially, especially for the OPG’s and the rods.

Sounds like you have a plan going forward. I might need to pulley down myself to keep you and Ecks behind me lol. That 70mm from PBD is looking pretty tempting right now.

I was just using the situation as an example that anything can happen...I wouldn't dare to make a comment on tuning or anything like that. I hope he gets it sorted out at a minimal cost.

You might have to
I have a few tricks up my sleeve for our next meetup.

Hopefully @rojizostang gets his setup squared away so we can all run some mid 11's
