So do you think it’s completely safe to use the tune for another 3 years without worrying about repair bills? Will the stock engine with 91 gas can handle that amount of power on long-term based?
Thanks

I agree with AZTWW, just wanted to add couple points: we (all who are tuned) need to change plugs more often and it's a good idea to buy a set of coils to have handy. Also, timely oil changes go without saying - they become even more important with our tunes due to higher loads (I'm guessing we all going to WOT many times).
One more caution I would add - please do not abuse WOT starts from the dig - it wears transmission (our ZF8 is rated at 660lbft - so with a tune we are already at 600lbft level) and transfer case and I even saw a photo of a X5 50i tuned that broke driveshaft due to huge torque at the start and he apparently forgot to turn DSC off. Other than that - we should be good. Just my opinion.
