What really kills the engine?
I'm kind of confused about an issue. I was reading the July issue of 5.0, the one where they took $1200 and made 88 more horses, and am concerned about the tuners. They stated that the tuners (SCT and Diablo) made the A/F ratio really rich, especially when they installed the 2.8 pulley. I think I'm concerned about a safe tune more than anything. I guess I want to know if anyone has had any problems with this and what you did to fix it.

If the problem your seeing is they are making hte cars run really rich, that should not be a problem. By default, you want a boosted motor to always run richer.. Rich is much much safer than lean.... but most people that play with them on their own screw that part up. lol

Also a nother big reason for Terminator engine failures = a pulley shorter than a 3.10 with no upgraded heat exchanger.
The Eaton creates sickening amounts of heat, a shorter pulley increases the amount of heat.

I went ahead and ordered the AFCO Pro Series from rpmoutlet. I'll get the resivoir soon, but I figure this is the better of the two for now. When I bought it, it had a 3" pulley on it already, but theres no chip in the ECU or program loaded from a tuner. How unsafe is this? Exhaust smells normal and she runs great, so I figure she's ok as long as I'm not beating up on her too much. Am I wrong?
