You have a tune to handle little boost and to stay out of the high revs..whats so hard about that? If i got my car back and was told that the tune was a temp and to take it easy the last thing i would be doing is getting into races. The leaks and what not i dont know...prolly caused by the motor failure...or maybe could have been sealed bad..dont know but it sounds like your son has abused the car on a temp tune...and will prolly blow the new motor up too by turning the boost up with out a tune to compensate or something along those lines.

Thanks.
Yes, the car had the crap kicked out of it by a spoiled kid in the break in period on a temp tune.
They were warned, but it obviously meant nothing.
I'm willing to bet he denies it to his father though. It was funny because like I said, he called me asking how to turn the boost up while he had the car for break in. Then he comes in telling us about all the cars he raced and how he kept up with a "ws7 trans am" I am assuming he meant a ws6 Trans Am because I have never seen a ws7 personally.
My next post has more good info.
