Sorry couldnt resist, we are reviewing what we get yes....

What logs are going to tell me about Oiling issues I have no idea, but yes.

On the Oil side were running what supposed to be the best windage avaiable and a 3 quart (3 full quart) accumulator......

Noting more will be known until I get it home and tear it down.

You are assuming what went wrong, data doesn't lie. You are just throwing out a wild guess that it's oiling. You could be hammering the **** out of the motor and knocking the bearings out of it. Given your ET/MPH you aren't making crazy horsepower, the motor should live more than a couple passes.

It's absolutely foolish to be running that car down the track and not closely look at the data, actually, you shouldn't even of gone to the track and your tuner should of realized this as a MAJOR PROBLEM.

Case and point, similar situation as you, except I didn't talk **** for months building up to this so it didn't attract near as much attention. About 10 years ago I build a turbo'd car, lost a motor. I did the same thing as you and just guessed what went wrong. My datalogging system was screwing up, but I didn't think anything of it as I was convinced I knew what the problem was. Build another motor, and pop it. Same issue. Didn't have data. Built another motor, figured out my data logging issues, and found out that we had a wastegate problem and the car was seriously over boosting (data doesn't lie). Something that was so simple cost tons of money. Could be the same in your circumstances as well.

You have the "technology" so you say, use it. Your tuner should know better than to send a car down the track without knowing 100% sure that the datalogging system is working.
