Jeez, just read through this thread, as an impartial viewer I'd say:
"You guys are all over the fucking map." (aggressive)
"You're evading the question. You said other factors were at play. Like what? More importantly, how? What's your theory?" (aggressive, accusatory)
responded to with: "If someone can prove to me somehow that it is impossible the forced induction could be a factor, I'm all ears." (I personally don't read anything into that)
followed by: "Ok, so you don't know and you want someone to spoon feed you. Got it.
Haha... ok Do you know how to do the math? Let's start by assuming a typiclal thermal efficiency of about 20%. Do you get why we need to know that? Shall we continue?
See, you and Pat need to be invested in this little exercise. Otherwise I'm just being suckered into doing enough math to prove my point. Can you do the math to prove yours?" (condescending)
Soooo....sorry, but who pissed in your cereal this morning? Guy is just pointing out that add FI puts additional stress on the system - I'd say it's possible. Fi=increased heat, who knows what the oil temp/viscosity was. Heck FI can also = bouncing off the rev limiter harder because the dang thing accelerates so much faster in 1st gear
