Sad but true. I don't care to argue about the facts. If you want to straight truth from someone that builds motors, installs and tunes them professionally, specifically specializing in boosted late model Vettes, give me a shout. I don't mind going over your tune and sharing my opinion if you're interested.

It’s sad but true my whole stock motor is still in tact but yet the information is so dead wrong I guess people have their own opinion! About what actually works and what actually blows a engine ect.

Corrective tuning vs RPM is all I’m saying who tuned mine that should be a dead give away at that point!
neutron I know you know how to care for your engine build ! I thought you did your own tuning btw !
Others here have clearly blown engines and over spun blowers .
If your taking that right step most of the **** becomes so what avoidable even though it’s a mechanical device and doomed for failure one day!

No no ! Maybe it’s not such a dead give away lol but that’s on their site !
Corrective tuning vs. RPM
I looked into cow booster and Chuck I’ve also spoken to the man blue up top as well ! I’ve spoke to most of the major guys vara them selves I’ve reached out to AA / they put put in some work on my tune . Vara, Blue,Josh and the list goes on.
I even want to say I’ve seen the monster bluez with its high rise sheet metal intake and all that the electrical was getting done when I walked in ! runs a ls3 looks hype not my style though . It could be a different one but the car was from Texas I think not sure out here in California getting worked on!
