Yeah, the cylinder 8 thing is a complete myth. It only affects 2011 cars. It is due to poor aftermarket tunes and running cheap gas.

LMFAO. Yeah. Right.





FWIW, I think BAMA figured out any problems with their tunes long ago, so the likelihood of having a "bad" one from them is low. I've seen many cars going deep 11s on BAMA tunes. Still, getting a tune from a local tuner is probably going to make more power and will probably be as safe.

You just had some bad luck there man. Few people beat on their car as much as I do, and few have had more tunes from more tuners. The few issues we could actually track down where damage did happen, were almost completely from marginal tunes, questionable octane ratings and beating the crap out of the car.
