AEM vs FLASH.

I am not paying that much for a piggy back, I would go with the AEM for that price. 4TUN8... I dont like the 3071, I really want good topend with okay spool up. I think the gt35r is too much turbo for me now (my choice) and the 3076 is a good comprimise. I pieced my kit together and I will be bolting it up after I get my motor's compression checked.
So lets say I got an AEM EMS, I can take it to lets say AMS, and strap down on the dyno, and "tune it". Is that the end of the story? what about added parts at a later date? re-tune needed? ie if I added new cams? from lets say 272's to 280's. What is the issue of people blowing up with this? Poor tune? How would you find a "certified" tuner?
I have actually read about peoples car blowing up, but I am not sure if it is just hersay. Can anyone elaborate on "why they go boom?" has this happened to anyone on here? If you need a (1/one) good tune, is that all that is needed (if you keep the same parts in it, and dont swap out or upgrade parts) weather you live in sunny AZ, or the Midwest? Where the temperature change/humidity/can be extreme hot and then cold. What season would be the best time to tune?

I dont care really for the ecu+. I know someone with a Mr that has a gt35r with supporting mods and alky. He is making like close to 500whp, I think its 497 on 27psi with a flash. He told me to get a flash he loves it. I mean 500whp on pump and alky is great. He told me he drives around everyday with it no problems.
