Default is it true there is lean issues when boosting a LY6??

I thought I read a thread awhile back about having issues with boosting a LY6 and it randomly going lean and causing catastrophic damage. True? Anyone know where to find that thread. The poster of the thread blew his up and posted pics up of the carnage.

I've been searching for the thread with no luck..I swear it said something like that..something about having to get the tune spot on or else it could go bad.

Well yeah. Of course. But the way I read it, its very critical to get it right. Like it takes a VERY good tuner to precisely get the tune right.

It seems there has been an abnormal amount of blown up boosted 6.2s but I think only because guys posted them on here. I'm sure there are just as many other motors
