When I bent a rod I tried to figure out what may have contributed to the failure, I was running a modest amount of boost and WHP, seemed a little unusual to me so I looked at the tuned AFR… car was in the mid 12’s all the way through… tuning issue? Or is AFR unrelated to a bent rod?
Sorry for the thread jack…

Also, about timing...we have no clue where your timing is at on those dyno runs. Too much of it regardless of A/F will also put a hole in your block.
We also don't know what your AIT looks like... too hot and you'll be detonating like a machine gun.

I think you mean the blue one looks dangerous, right?
The blue was my car and the red was another car with a different tune but same setup. Maybe 3k miles like that, it blew my first time at the drag strip with that setup.
Anyways, I emailed the tuner a month before the engine failure telling him my gauge was reading lean and he kept telling me the car’s fine so I assumed he knew what he was talking about and I took it to the race track and bent a rod on my second run, that’s when I knew something was strange so I pulled up the dyno with the AFR to take a look for myself and found out how lean the car was running.
Of course I get a “car was tuned in the 11’s…motor bent a rod because it had junk internals…you don’t know what you’re talking about, rods don’t bend from running lean…” BS excuse when I ask the tuner why he tuned the car so lean.
And now I get to pay for a premature engine build.

lol, that’s too funny… here’s my video from the track (I bent a rod as I shifted into 4th gear on this run), 13.5 @ 108 mph
