Who has actually blown headgaskets in gear heads race tune?

[RSK]

Just like the title says who has actually blown headgaskets in gear heads race tune, i have hot street now, and i can't help but think fuel economy on the highway and around town would go up if bought the race tune. I'll hold it wide open for 4-5 seconds not much longer. I plan to pull the heads and replace the head gaskets blown or not when the studs are going in.

No issues here, been running gearheads race tune for almost a year.

Thanks for the feed back have you dynoed it with the 71mm atmo?

I blew my gaskets with the race tune lol. They were already blown when I put my 75 on. Also I was at 618 HP when they blew

Like a 30 second + burnout.

Lol i can't hold it wide open much longer, G forces get too intense have to lift and slow down. Lol. No but really i don't open it up except on the highway so i'm already going 55-80mph so 4-5 seconds from there and i doing over 100 so no need to much faster. Might have done 130 a few times but didn't take much to get there.

mine were okay for 25k+ on idp and gearhead race.

I started tear dropping which in turn lead to puking mostly during that type of situation.

yah sounds like i should probably wait until its studded and i do my ported intake manifold, and 75 or 76mm atmo turbo, and built valvetrain to run the race tune.

I ran it for quite a while before I did studs. Set your defuels and watch how you drive it. Some last, some don't. Early 08 job 1s really don't.

mines a job 1 10. how can i adjust my defuels? MCC unlock?

Hit the main menue key, top left. Then select "set defuels". Set your pyrometer 1 at 1450 degrees. Set boost pressure at, ooh, say 40 psi. Cold coolant temp at 180 degrees. Hot coolant at like 220 degrees. There's a start.. Obviously you can run more boost, hotter EGTs and so on so forth but it won't live as long..

That's exactly where I have my defuels set. No studs till warrenty is up so hopefully it lives.

08 Job 1?

 

[2good2Btru]

My gaskets were good with no puking at all. Thats with my truck being tuned since 2k miles and running spartans 310, idp race tunes and gearhead race tunes with at least 30 passes at the track and daily driven on only race tunes

 

[forcefed6.4ford]

Job 3's seems to be much more resilient to puking than job 1's or 2's.

 

[Mts678]

I think it's hit or miss honestly. My job 1, I ran it on the hd300 tune daily till I sold it at 150k miles. Never had any issues, I did have the weekly light to light wot runs and hammering it on the on ramps to the highways. She was good to me, factory head bolts, no mods besides cai exhaust egr and dpf deletes
