Some of you may not know that my motor blew up last year about 1000km's after a custom dyno tune.
Bent three valves, so I opted for new heads (there was also a lot of chunks in the heads)

I'm getting ready for a Whipple this week, did you have the Mustang Shop or Tecmotion in Calgary do the custom tune, or somewhere in Edmonton or up North and what HP/PSI were you running when the engine let go? With the stock motor did you have a non HO whipple??
Sorry to hear about the misfortune with the engine, but the new build is seriously awesome, congratulations.

Tecmotion did the tune before it went. I heard nothing but good things about their tunes until after I got one. Someone actually told me to remove my tune immediately when they heard who I had it done by, said their car let go a couple thousand kilometers after they got theirs tuned, of course I never.... I should have! There are 4 other S197's I have heard of with blown motors tuned by them. I sent my tune to another respected tuner and asked him to take a look at it, he said it is worthless, and jacked up, he sent me a 12 point list of things wrong with my tune (knock sensors turned off at WOT was one, and the reason my motor let go)
