Just by looking at a tune file, will not be enough to say what caused a motor to fail. More info would be required, such as a log during the failure, what mods were on the car, and what failed mechanically.

What mechanically failed, or why are you saying it "blew up"? Is there a hole on the side of the block, or is it just idling funny?

Post up the log and tune file.

Oh it mechanically failed alright hehe...rod let go from the looks of it...personally I think it was a combination of the 98 motor...the 231/237 cam i traded him & high rpm shift points...stuff is just bound to break sometimes. I don't know how extensive his tuning was in the long run but I don't honestly know if it wouldve mattered much.
