Default ouch.."I lost my car due to the previous owner's inabilities to tune it properly"

that stings a little bit and is an un true statement.

The more people I talk to about the car the more I hear that the car should have never done that unless it was running too lean. Stage 3's are "Bulletproof" I was told if set up right. I never got to the point of running logs or turning up the wick much less taking it to the track. Potential bidders laid me pretty low that the car was now on it's third motor. Take it for what it is, I got F'd all the way around but life is a whole lot better now that I stuck the money in the bank and my wife can concentrate on her last semester of school and not worry about working. I am at peace, please accept what you will and move on.

All the logs disagreed with the too lean statement when I had it. Too much boost = too lean
