X rays can def mess with electronics as its ionizing. I get a belt from my laptop every time it goes though the x ray at the airport, becomes highly statically charged.

x rays will erase normal eproms as well as OTP ones with long enough exposure.

Spoke to antus about it and there was a mixup with the order. Had a 12p bin loaded on it but thanks to your help, problem sorted. Just finish having a play on the dyno. All seems well at this stage, back at it in the morning to turn up the wick. 355 factory stroker fitted with a 2400 yellatera blower. Should make some noise :thumbup:

Sounds nice too, needs copper head gaskets, head studs and a tank of e85. Be a different kinda animal then.

Although I lost a few hours on Saturday sorting out the issues (siting beside the dyno on a milk create until 10pm staring at my laptop considering the hammer option) and I got a fairly frustrated lol, it was a bit of a blessing in disguise, through the mixup I learnt a great deal that I would have had to experience at some point. So thanks again to you delcowzzid for keeping available through the process. I've now got a pretty good understanding of it all :thumbup:

So I've been thinking I can get a bit more out of this tune but I'm curious what the limitations are of the engine, what would be more Likely to happen first: knock or head gasket letting go? My fueling is bang on what I want it to be at 12.5 but I'm hesitant to put any more then 15 degrees of timing at 170kpa (max manifold pressure) any suggestions?
