Default Motor almost rebuilt again but worried!!

Just wanted to get some advice from the vets....

As some of you know my motor blew on the ride home from dyno tuning. Cracked 2 cylinders 1 pretty bad and the other just a hair line about an inch long on the top.

Anyways, we never really figured out what caused it. Signs point to running too lean, but dyno graph looked good.

On the way home car was overheating a lot, could that have added to pre mature detonation??

What should I look out for now? Should I do a real conservative tune at 12.6 tuning through band? Should I just street tune it vs. dyno tune?

All parts were pretty new 5 months old when the motor was built.

Now I have the same setup but lower compression but higher displacement at 84mm. Sleeved with Golden Eagle also.

Now I am scared to push it hard due to NO FREAKIN MONEY ANYMORE!!!!!!!

SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR BEFORE I TUNE AGAIN AND START DRIVING HOME.....
