Boost?

I know the settings that I aim for are safe and not aggressive enough that they'd have caused that type of engine damage on their own; your vehicle didn't conform to the norm or it had excessive boost/KR that went undiagnosed for too long.

I am very sympathetic to the rebuilding you've had to do because I've owned 4 GTPs myself, built motors, been there before. Just do indeed be careful about what your new tuner is doing, ensure you understand entirely what he's doing and why, and if this was an issue with a fuel supply issue or an overboost issue ensure that it's diagnosed and corrected before anything bad happens again

And Matt, "Yes because you're running an afr in the tens and no timing", come on man :headshake:

i assure you thats the only post i have here or anywhere else that has said anything negative about your tune, seeing as i dont know anything about tuning i was going off of what was said by the guy that looked over my tune, he said that it was running super lean and suggested that i not go into boost at all until the issue is figured out, the piston was looked over by a master tech at the local gm dealer said the most likely was related to a lean condition then i went to the tuner and heard what he said it was easy to assume, but at the same time i said i should have gotten the tune adjusted to my car the issue would have been found, its just as much my fault as anything else!

in the end i about made my money back parting out the old motor and my new motor and s/c has only 6k total miles so its hard to be even remotely upset lol!! also i would get your tune again just make sure it sits well with the car!
