pushing the motor harder, there's always a chance it can go south. An over aggressive tune, could have overlooked some safety parameters, bad fuel/wrong octane, fuel system component failure. Without someone diving into the tune parameters and knowing what fuel was in it it's all a guessing game.

It happens.....note from the abbreviated story in the video, it was running E85. If not done correctly, lots can go wrong. If done correctly you can exceed a stock 3.5 long block's strength, so there's a lot to say about that.
If you go with a reputable tuner, odds are lower of this happening, or if you go with 5 star, for $500, grab the powertrain warranty and have fun.
