I have to admit that it took me a few tries reading this post to get to the crux of the issue. Please correct me if I misunderstood. Your car was sputtering due to a bad tune. Taking your assertion at face value and assuming that a bad tune didn't cause any damage to the engine, you seem to be saying that instead of simply retuning the car, you decided to go for a complete rebuild just because you felt like being thorough. Then, some 2,000 miles later, you dump the car on Ebay and claim in caps that it was babied.

There's also another possibility. Your engine was indeed damaged, requiring a complete rebuild. That's when you decided to opt for the stroker. If that's correct, which seems logical, your initial claim is still brought into question.

As for the rest of the text quoted above, the potential buyer can decide for himself whether he feels comfortable trusting the person who uploaded it with the idea of saying something clever.
