I have had enough!

Ya know the dealer tells me the excessive cylinder pressure leaks into the coolant system and causes the overflow and puking.

My temps used to run around 800-950F normal driving and 1000-1100F under medium load such as uphill driving with 100hp tune. I never let it go above 1200F.
Good luck

:?: I see that some people have had similar experiences with the Predator. I was wondering if the guys at Diablosport can write a tune that mellows out the turbo boost and maybe holds the tranny in a little longer. Add a defueling fix which may be an RPM thing and It may cause my heads to last ...

Turbo Boost pressure leaking into cooling system

I have been told by the dealer that when I run my programmer among other things it raises the turbo boost , which in turn leaks exhaust by the heads and enters the cooling system causing the recovery bottle/resovoir to puke coolant all over the inside of the engine compartment. I have actually had ...
