2nd worse mod.. MAF calibrator, to try and correct the Pro-M MAF.  Needless to say, I went back to my stock SVT MAF and sent back the junk.

To me, it doesn't really matter. I'm not trying to call you out. I was just curious as to how you came to the conclusion that it was the precat gutting that caused the engine to go.

You don't know 100% what the reason was for the motor going. I'm just questioning, because I'd hate to see a bunch of people avoid mods because someone assumed it was the cause of failure. Honestly, these motors can go, just like that. Mine went at 52k miles, with no warning signs. No oil light, no sweeping right turns, it just started knocking out of nowhere.
