So you say you run a tune, and then say you don't run a tune???

Thousands and thousands.. LOL!

Oh and from your OP "I was at light and when green I WOT at 6000 rpm right before switching gears"

Are you drunk or high??

You do understand that the dealership can read your ecm and tell if there was ever a tune on it even if you put it back to stock right? And yes you did say 6 grand for rpm. Again you are a very lucky person.

Come on man the LS motors are no longer gods gift to motors the 5.0 has taken that title.

And I have seen many 250hp motors that when a rod or rod bolt let's go have inside parts of the motor decide they want to be outside. Lol
