Could have been a problem with the install or tune, if everyone had that problem I don't think AFR would recommend them...

see thats kinda why i was like..hmm??...and he said it was boosted..something im not doin for anytime soon...once i get the hci done..itll be just savin money after that..i should be happy for a while..at least i say that now...but boost wont be for a long time and when it happens..itll be orings gaskets with heads machined to accept them...so with properly cleaned block, n since there new heads should be perfectly smooth....so afrs recommended is what ill probably what ill still end up with ..but just lookin for opinions..

LOL... that is known as an "appeal to authority" fallacy. That would be the same as saying, for any discussion regarding the E-303 cam as an example:

"Could have been a problem with the install or tune, if everyone had that problem I don't think FRPP would recommend them..."

FYI.... tuning was made with a TwEEcer, wideband + 5-gas analyzer and it also has a water-methanol system installed..... as a safeguard to prevent any of the problems that would have caused that failure. In my case though, with the proof and facts I have, I will never install the 1011 HG's in my car, or my customers......N/A, boosted or with giggly....
