Was that member in a new 5.0? I have been reading about a #8 cylinder problem on some of the new 5.0 engines, it seems the motors are blowing and its always the #8 cylinder. Ford is trolling message boards and voided a guys warranty because they found on the net he had a tune. What I can tell you for sure is if you have an aftermarket tune and your engine blows Ford wont cover it, and they will go to great lengths to find out.

Srsly, Am and Breenspeed are the top two most popular canned tune providers in the Mustang Market. They wouldn't be that way if they screwed people or their cars.

well thats just RE-dick-U-lust id hate to be that poor SOB who blew his new engine and now has a voided warrenty. That' pretty hardcore of ford, searching the boards... would lead someone to think that ford is well aware of this issue since they're actively checking posts on it... interesting.

yeah I just posted a link in the thread below give it a read it has links to other boards as well you'll find it interesting. BTW I have seen ford customer service post on this board helping members find their orders so that is proof they are trolling the boards IMO. To think they are here specifically to help us would be delusional.

I'd like to see that thread or info. Edit: thanks for pointint it out Mike. I'll check it out
My take is, if you're having issues, don't brag about it on the net, hello, can you say open to the world? It's like people that get arrested for putting videos of themselves on youtube flaunting it as they break the law. You are just asking to be arrested.
Edit: I still stick by my post above. If you blow your motor because you mod the hell out of it. That's unfortunate but not Ford's fault that you modded your car and blew the motor.

Thanks for all of the great feedback, everyone! We're glad that people are running the tunes and we can get their car to the performance level they were hoping for! OP, give the Bama team a call or simply let me know if you have absolutely any other questions, whatsoever!

And most importantly; he should have modded his car right. For example, given his mods, any good tuner would not advance any of the timings too far forward.
And if someone put on a supercharger of turbo, a good engine modder would not boost the hell out of it on stock non-true forged internals. 20+ PSI boost in the manifold without a properly built lower block and a good tune is just plain stupid.
