Shitty tuner. That pull should have stopped as soon as it went lean. Piston top is scorched, obv it got hot and was hurt.

Dang! I hope you get some kind of reimbursement over this. Hopefully you didnt sign any kind of paperwork(waiver) prior to the dyno. Most likely you did if this "tuner" works out of that shop often. The shop would make him get the waiver signed. But hey...if you didnt sign anything then I would go after him for the motor he toasted! No doubt in my mind it was the tune that caused the piston to fail.

Good luck with the next build!

That must have been one heck of a ping. Sorry to see the damage. Hopefully once it's back together it's even stronger than before.
