If it was tuned BEFORE you fixed those problems then the tune is NOT awesome. From what I'm reading it sounds like you had it tuned with these problems, fixed them, adjusted the timing(advanced most likely?) and ripped on it. Is that correct?

He even said that he was running without fuel management for a while before coming to you, so there's no telling what condition the motor was in already. He says it ran strong before, of course it did
I wouldn't pay him ----. Maybe feel bad and help install, but pay for it, no.At least your offering to help him, thats cool of you, but you shouldnt feel obligated to foot the bill, it sounds like the fuse was already lit for this distruction long before you ever got your hands dirty.

Re: interesting weekend
Ummm....so it was a "basemap" tune and not an actual "tune". Taking an "awesome tune" from "Car A" and swapping it into "Car B" isn't going to be such an "awesome tune" for Car B, no matter how much they are alike. Just like how everybody was all over the BBKA tune. It was tuned pretty good for his car and elevation, but not the next guys.
Regardless, if the distributor swap was what caused the motor to blow then I think he's at least a little responsible. Although if I were helping soemone out of the kindness of my heart and something happened to go wrong, then I might reconsider.
