OK, I will agree that JMB Justin has years of experience on tweaking 10s and a few others as well and has done most of the R&D involved to make a bad ass 10. Thing is, just about ANY turbo, N2O, or SC system can be thrown on our trucks and make good power, STS or front mount. There are so many variables from "putting a kit together" that must be accounted for. I can say that there is NO WAY that the STS Turbo kit itself is killing the 10s and have a bad rep. I can say that you can ANYTHING CAN BE TUNED TO RUN CORRECTLY WITHOUT FEAR OF BLOWING UP!!! It's not the power being thrown at out 10s that's killing them, it's 95% in the TUNE! If you DO NOT DATALOG cruise conditions, WOT pulls and such your dynosheets mean shit! I tune LSX platform cars and the only time my customers go to the dyno is to see #'s. I TUNE NOTHING ON THE DYNO!!!!!! Nothing can 100% replicate "ON ROAD" conditions whether a load bearing dyno or not. All my tuning ( although may not be considered safe by some) is done on backroads with 3 miles straightaways and rarely ever traffic. We do a pull from idle, a pull from 40, and a pull from 70 and use the data collected while logging to correct for timing and A/F. My customers DO NOT BLOW engines unless it was a failure of some other part of the system (ex.)injectors (rare), fuel pumps ( NOT SO RARE), ingnition system ( occasional)
I believe these sytems that " Kill V-10 Viper engines" are just never tuned correctly from the get go. I can also say that just because someone can afford to buy the tuning software, does NOT make them a tuner!!!!!!!!
You have to know how to use the software and also know what the engine is wanting by understanding your datalogs.
