The guy has not pointed the finger at anyone. Let him tell his story in another thread. It is my understanding that he was noticing the engine acting differently prior to the 89/91 octane episode. It would be nice to hear a full story with an accurate description of what happened. |

When you ran anything under 93 octane, was it for a prolonged period of time? If you ran 91 octane and kept the car at extremely low RPM I dont think that would have caused the motor to pop - my buddy Salaccidentally threw 91 in his VT2-650 kit when he first had it installed and had to run the gas out by putting around at low rpm before he could get on it. His car is fine. If you hammered the car while consciously knowing that the car didnt have sufficient octane for its tune, well, thats an entirely different story.

The bright side is it is a killer car and maybe he can build the motor out so he can run higher HP safely |

This makes me want to rethink purchasing a SC.
How many blown motors with SC'ers have been listed on this forum?

Most of the blown motor issues are from stock vehicles even 2009 and up have experienced issue from what I've read. From what I've seen the superchargers are not an issue, sure at higher miles one should consider mileage before supercharging/turbo on any vehicle.

OP: Thank you for creating this thread!
Call me paranoid but after reading this thread it did raise some concerns for my 08... I remember hearing some abnormal ticking sounds just after my spark plugs were changed at 30K.. However it has since disappeared?.. At idle, the car makes all sorts of noises as Im sure all normal vehicles do... there is a slight ticking noise Im sure... but its not what the videos suggest (Random ; No rhythm).. I am out of warranty... Should I be concerned? |

I'd suggest sending an oil sample off to Blackstone with your next oil change.

Me Too! I looked out the window, and didn't *see* the sky falling.
...but like I said, a VERY reliable source told me it's happening. There's even a big thread on the Internet about it and like, 4 other people claim it happen too! I assume that means I'm next. |

Luckily, the bomb shelter I built for Y2K hasn't been getting much use. Well, of course, I stocked it back up for the end of the Mayan calendar, but that was a big disappointment too. If anyone needs extra canned food - PM me. |
