Byron,
I hear you and understand what you're trying to say. I respect that.
But I have heard a LOT of guys loosing a motor AFTER they tune with you. Funny enough, these same guys will praise you, right after the failure. LOL. You must make one hellofa impression.
At the same time, I hear a LOT of stock kits that last a while. Specifically, Vortec kits. It seems that if you use a stock kit, and boost, the motor has no problems lasting 50k+ miles.
Perhaps your tune is not at fault. Perhaps these stock mod motors have VERY FINITE mechanical limits. So, anything after XXXhp you're really taking your chances.
But for whatever reason, there is a definate link between 'Byrons Tune' + Stock motor = Ticking time bomb.

I dont know why, but i found this relic through a search, and though it is old, it seems worth reopening:
JSHTROD: Can you name one or two of the "LOT" of people you know who lost motors after Byrons tuning?! Or is this just something your buddies buddy told you happened to his buddy, multipled and exagerated by a factory of 5?

Hahahaha! lol!Well All I can say out of experience is that byrons custom chip saved my ass ton's of headachs and problems after dyno tuning it. Before the tune my car pinged anytime I got on it. My car would just predetonate at as low as 2500rpm's. this detonation was on my 95GT with heads, cam, intake, fuel, exhaust, etc. After chip oh my god it was the greatest feeling getting on my car up to 6000rpm's without any detonation. I swear my car felt and also sounded healthier after the tune. i highly recommend this to anyone that is done with there aftermarket combo's. As for byron's tuning leading to blown motors is Bullshit!!!his tuning didn't blow s**t it was your led foot that didn't get off the gas pedal when it was time for the next gear.

that's pretty much like saying "making any decent amount of power + stock motor = ticking time bomb"

My car has been running great since the tune. Took a fresh motor to him with some minor tuning problems and he cured them and the car is running like a turnkey 466rwhp car. Thanks Byron!!!
