Yeah it was because of tuning... Anytime you ask a truck to make a ton of power with tuning it has the potential to fail... When the engine didn't fail at 800hp they decided to crank it up higher than anyone has cranked duration with TONS of timing, they were trying to pop it. 4000uS and 40* of timing did the trick. The truck hit its set points and KAPOW!

Previous guy said it was shitty tuning. Its not shitty tuning my friend. Hard parts failed, 100% positive with a built motor it would have held just fine. I highly dought they really used 40* of timing and 4000us, well maybe 4000us but not 40* of timing.
 

MAXX IT OUT

They never did use the 40/40 tune, but they had one they were going to put on there. If I remember right it was like 34* of timing and same of fuel.

Watch out coreyhe probably knows morecabout tuning then you do lol jk:roflmao:

Never said anyone knows more about tuning then someone else. Just because the interwebs said they used the 40/40 doesnt mean they actually did.:beer

How does one video prove a certain failure point? If I did a budget build right now I would use LML rods and pistons. There have been some revisions and apparently the second generation were better. There isn't a lot of data on the LML stuff, pm jneal on here and ask. Hes a great knowledgable guy and will answer your questions.

Far from a programmer and high tech motor builder, but I've got a hard 22K on mine, 30 passes down the 1/4, haven't broke it yet unless you count one popped radiator, after towing a trailer and making 5 passes down the track and going back home.:D
I'm pretty impressed with what it holds for daily beatings. Going to throw a second charger on it, I like the idea of the 472 but i'm thinking just a tad bigger and get a second fueler bolted in.
From a stock block perspective it is proving to be one of GM's better out of the box motors. Holding the same power levels on modestly built older versions. Once the programming comes these trucks will be a good threat on the tracks, even with the weight they are pushing. Time to turn it up :thumb:

The point is the tuning broke the engine, they meant to break the freaking engine. Pointing out what happened isn't bashing H&S and there shitty tuning:)

Well if I were to blame something for it blowing up the motor it would be the Dual High Pressure Pump Fuel Kit that supplied the injectors to go to 3800us, then the compounds, plus nitrous that supplied the air to take out the bottom end. Yes, tuning helped get to that power which obviously the bottom end cannot handle. Which we all know that it needs to be built for that type of power. It's like taking a hammer to an apple, the apple is going to blow up. Was it because it was a shitty hammer? Take a hammer to a hammer, it holds together. If the tuning was shitty, it wouldn't have made it to 1086 hp in the first place.
