What are my options after a rod bearing failure

[Copperhead06]

I'm running a car up to Kevin for a Motec install next week.

I will try to get some photos of the shop if anybody is interested.

He is doing a lot of Viper boat engines now, since Ilmore stopped doing them.

Hey do you have Kevin phone number . I have Ilmor boat engine that needs two rods hoping he might be able to get me two .

Mikey, I have a feeling you won't want to sell this car once you drive it and have some fun.

We'll see, I'm debating on whether to get an additional tune or not

Prefix was kind enough to get my ecu setup with the stationary cam

Stick with the Prefix tune, or dyno test it and send them the results to dial in your tune if needed.
The other tuning software is not as good as what Prefix uses, plus many times other tuners just try to
make best power, which can reduce engine life.

Other opinions may differ.

How would I go about doing so? I don't think they use hptuners anymore

Nvm
Kevin informed me he had prefix set up the ECU for the engine specs, it's good to go

[Dan Cragin]

Looks like you are setup perfectly. Kevin sent out your computer to Prefix to match the combination.

Is picking up a few HP once things loosen up a possibility. I am slightly disappointed by the missing 8hp

Drive it in cooler weather.

8hp isn't noticeable...and WELL within the dyno tolerance.

I figured that was the case, I unfortunately have the k&n intake (came with the car) didn't want to knock down the power anymore

[Lawineer]

You're upset about 8hp? Lol, it's fine.

Swap it out, factory is better anyways.

8hp is literally the difference in whether or not you fart before sitting down in the car.

Hahah noted!

For how much I paid, damn right I am

On the bright side, it's a write off so I might be getting a nice amount back

[Mikey]

Well, hello Gorgeous

Yup. K&N is straight garbage. Lets way more crap through.

[Mikey]

I'll pick up a stock one down the line, I just want my car back for now
Not looking for any further delays

For anyone playing with the idea of a motor build. Kevin was amazing to work with, extremely patient with all my dumb questions, and didn't try to upsell me when I toyed with the idea of a further upgrade

[Mikey]

She's coming home tomorrow!
For some reason I'm paranoid about my parts being stolen, but I'm sure it's all good

Luke drove her 60 miles, he's happy with the alignment and the power. She goes on the lift one more time for one last inspection ,a quick wash before the winter storm and then back home

I need one of those Mobil 1 15w50 oil caps...

Sounds really good!

I'm impressed that was done in just 4 months ... feels like everything automotive today is backlogged like crazy ... i've been waiting ~18 months for an alloy T5 transmission because of an inability to get the gearsets, grrr.
