Second of all, when AMNVQ stated that there exists a handful of blown engines (which btw, implies more than one) and there is only one that we know of, we asked for him to back up his claim that there exists more than one. He did not/could not.
If you can't back up your claim that something exists with proof, then your claim is false. Here's an example. I claim that unicorns exist. Unless I can furnish proof that unicorns exist, the statement is false. While I could argue that it may be possible that there exists a unicorn on some far away planet in another galaxy, I cannot substantiate my claim and therefore my statement that unicorns exist is not true because I do not know that it is true nor can I prove it.
Furthermore, we pointed out that his statement of "I made 412whp out of the box" was false due to his previous statement of "I only made 352whp and the Stillen tune sucks". That does not mean that we unequivocally implied that everything he said is a lie. We only said that that particular statement is a lie and we have given proof to that effect.
Now, while it is true that his credibility is damaged as a result of his lie, that does not necessarily mean that everything he says is a lie. Only that everything he says should be examined more closely and the question of whether or not he is telling the truth has been raised.
As someone in this thread pointed out earlier, anyone reading any of this should most definitely determine whether what they read is true or not. However, had we not stepped in to correct a false assertion, the casual reader would assume that everything written is true and the falsehood would continue to be disseminated.

its as my favorite character Gin Rummy has said "the absence of evidence is not the evidence of of absence" and that "there are known knowns and known unknowns, but there are also unknown unknowns, [things] that we dont know that we dont know"
but in all seriousness, if GTM doesnt know about the blown engines than how will they ever know unless it is brought to their attention in detail
im pretty sure there are unspoken stories of engines blowing with the stillen kit as well as the gtm kit, heck im pretty sure there are unspoken stories of people blowing their engines while its stock, but if no one knows about them than no one will ever know if it truly existed or not
