So right that everything is in the tune...but when where you tuned & what was the temp outside? Last thing I would want as a new HD owner is to have someone tell me, go romp on it in cooler weather (60*, 50*, 40*, etc...) without any worry & then I post up saying the motor blew/a rod let go.
Hell, when my motor broke a rod & then destroyed itself it was 72* outside...so it could happen at anytime (but I was also pushing it with a 8# lower on stock block...but I didn't have a crazy tune either...it was considered a safe tune).
