Joe, looking at it more closely, it looks like something RUBBED through the oil pan more than BUSTED through, the hole is small, i can't even fit 3 fingers in it...when i pulled over the car had already starting dieing out because of the low oil pressure and oil and it was making like a clicking type of noise.

It does not use target AFRs. You should download a copy of the software at www.aempower.com and play around a bit.

wtf is going on?... finally I have everything back from getting coated and now everyone's blowing motors... I don't want to say it's Dezod's kits, but I wonder if they've changed anything w/ the new batches of kits?

We haven't changed the kit in any major way. The pipes were freshened up on some kit, but the design was the same. I think too many people are missing details when installing it, or poor tuning with aggressive driving (especially in high heat conditions) could lead to damage.

That's what I had figured... I mean in essense a kit is fairly simple setup... You have cars out there running w/ just a base map and don't hear any issues with those... Seems as though a lot of these issues are comign right after a tune...
