[QUOTE="JDV, post: 10871805, member: 11965"] There's actually a very valid reason they all in this thread. Cause someone went to all mustang boards posting his sob story and cross linking many threads making this seem like a much larger problem than it is. Then people with the popped pistons went posting in the other threads too. So what you have now is 15 threads on 15 boards with thousands of replies all over 4 popped pistons. Out of how many thousands of tuned 5.0's? I fail to see how this is a huge Realistically, if there was 2600 tuned cars out there and 4 popped, that's .1%. 99.99% live rate. Industry would be tickled if they could achieve that sort success. The fact is that this motors weakest link is the pistons, with #8 being the first to go due to am unknown factor. Maybe heat, maybe knock sensor sensitivity issue. Either way, they live when stock which means ford supplied is with a motor that does exactly what it was designed to do. Even if the weakest part failed at 1000 rwhp, the same people would be crying that ford should warranty it! It's substandard parts! Why can't I mod my mustang?! OMG I'm selling it to go buy a (insert whatever) cause they don't have this issue (when in reality the same shit happens online with them too, IE new camaro clutch). No matter how overbuilt the motors are, someone will find the limits and then criers will scream that it should be warrantied when it breaks no matter what mods are done. Tuners are learning his these motor work and what works on them. I'm afraid to have to say that someone has been the result of a learning curve. It's what happens when you buy new technology and are the first to have it modded. Any rational mechanical person can look for 30 minutes at all data available and easily see what's going on.
