Blown Piston on Dyno Tune......

I love how there are sooo many knowlegeable tuners on here that immediately know the tuner is at fault even though they have no data to back up that claim.
Stuff like this happens. Get used to it or don't modify cars. These cars are very much detonation limited stock in terms of making more power. Who's to say that the 15k miles the car had on it wasn't run on less than stellar fuel that caused consistent detonation that had already done a significant amount of damage to the piston?

x2 no way to really tell and point the finger. Even with the best parts/tune stuff can fail without warning.

This is the reason I don’t believe it’s worth tuning a car and throwing out the warranty for 50hp. Things like this can happen and in the end the cost is far more than the benefit. It’s possible the tune had an effect but hard to prove. This is a great time to forge the bottom end and make some real power though.
