Sean,
I have ordered many other products and spent plenty of money with your company.
I knew there was a problem and I was trying to get help from wherever I could. I sent you and Tony my log files and the profile I was using. I am new to tuning - I just wish one of you said let's play it safe and take enough timing out if it's detonating until it's straightened out. It would have taken just a few minutes to make the adjustment and email it to me. That being said- I did take this project on and it's my responsibility that I did damage to my car. That's the risk I took. Unfortunately I didn't have many options. There are not any Viper tuners anywhere near this area. I considered having my car trailered to a tuner but that was almost 2k. Luckily it's not anything permanent, and I have found someone that knows what he is doing with tuning and has a dyno- just hasn't worked on a viper before.
Thanks
Gary

That's a great point.
Something has been very different about this since the beginning. Seeing the VEC log and seeing that the box saw no manifold pressure input was the first problem (no fuel enrichment and no timing changes while driving with the SC). If the cc's on the heads are lower, could be part two of the problem. The stock cc's are 74 (yielding 9.6:1). Make sure they're no lower than that if they come off for new gaskets. Also, go 10 ft/lbs over the stock torque on the head bolts.
Gary, sorry if you felt like I was getting shorter with you after all the emails. I was just running out of the time I could give away. Hard to pay the bills when you don't sell the parts to the person, but still provide the service.
Regards,
Sean
