do you think i will see high 10's in my future

[AZSonicSnake]

the only thing that comes to mind is if he got an air pocket and it quit cycling the water. mine has done this once before...but i caught it before driving my car...

The only issue I can see is the pump died, but the tune should pull timing when it sees the high IAT2.

[The Nunn's]

More then likely, the pump failed. A GOOD tuner would make it pull a lil more timing than the stock table is set for... If the tuner doesn't do this, it would only take a couple of hard runs to fry the #7 or 8 cylinder completely. I've seen it first hand on a customer's car that melted a piston.

Would that be Wayne?

Hey Mike; Yeah, it sounds like the pump sh_t the bed on you. If you deside to go with either short block, I sent you the specs for, I would definetly replace the pump. I woud hate to see you damage either one of Dave's comp Hawk short blocks. With a Kenne Bell or Whipple, the 5.1 stroker, a good tune, running a good set of slicks, and 19-21lbs. of boost will definetly put you in the 10's with ease, Mike. Did you get the copy of the email, I got from Dave w/the specs on the two Comp Hawk short blocks?

YES!! Thats exactly what he said. I am glad you brought that up. I went straight to the shop after I injured my engine and when he opened the hood he showed my my intercooler and said "notice how the water is not bubbling" and he said that he had seen this before and this is what caused the damage.

Yes, thank you very much! I plan on giving him a call on either this Wednesday or Thursday.

Ya, I only made 2 or 3 high speed passes and I didnt maintain the high speed for more then a couple of seconds. I have a SCT tuner, the one that has a switch that allows you to run up to 7 different tunes. Is this a good tuner or would you have reccomended something else?

The only way to get an air pocket that I can see is during the filling process. If the system is not checked for proper flow when the fluid is added it is the installers fault. If the coolant tank is at the proper level I can not see a way to get an air pocket unless you drive the car upside down.

Is this tuner that you mention, a chip with a cable coming off with a dial that has different positions you can flip between? Or is it a programmer, that plugs into your ALDL port under the dash? If it is a chip, 1 or 2 positions on that dial are for disableing your car and nothing else.
