Saz...
Yep. Agree to disagree but there's a good way and bad way to do it. The guys that say the starting point to most failures is a tune is undeniable. But there has to be a reason some people never have issues and others do. It's why I started the tuning reliability survey. To kind of see if there was a pattern. So far, the pattern I see is there is a safe limit to increasing power. Most base tunes seem to fair well with a stock setup. Power adders like bolt ons change the equation and sometimes driving habits or poor choices like anti-lag increase the chance of problems.
Tunes really wake up the car and can transform the drive. Going too far with a tune can blow them up.
That's my point and I'm sticking with it.
