#2 cylinder sleeve declared its emancipation and in the process threw the entire engine assembly into chaos.
YES this was tuned using standalone and NO it wasn't detonating.
happened without any prior warning during acceleration onto the interstate.

i am going DOHC
I'm sorry that doesn't make much sense to me. It had to of detonated, or like Cronic said, there was a defect. The stock D Series sleeves are just as strong as the stock B Series sleeves and with a good tune should be capable of more than 400whp.
