Message	found limit on the VG30. I would suggest your friend Steve to get in contact with Escort Racing, Jorge Lazcano and/or the shop where the 1118RWHP Z32 was built ([ http://www.raracing1.com/contactus.html ]) to get some feedback about their experiences and try to search for the cause of this failure. Too bad about the engine, but sadly this is part of a learning process. Hopefully, new solutions and built recommendations will come to light after this.
