This is what I'm talking about, it's pretty common to see in a lot of EcoBoost with the pump all the way in the front of the motor in the pickup in the front of the sump it's very easy to speculate that the oil is running away from the pick up on a hard launch.
Not going to speculate any about the old tune, it's hard to say. Like guy says there was nothing alarming in the logs including no alarming oil pressure events that we saw. So it kind of strange, but it comes with the territory.
Like I said there's plenty of Motors out there that are making more power then this one but at the same time there's also been similar bearing failures on engines that are making less power and even stock power.

After having experience in many other platforms, this leads me to believe that the masses need to be better educated on all the preliminary reliability mods that should be completed for a 3.5 EB used in this manner. Before getting to all the "fun" stuff.
I too got away with making way more power on stock internals on other platforms. I got away with it without incident mainly due to addressing such things AND knowing what type of "beating" it would and would not tolerate. This forum needs a good sticky discussing such in a clear and uncluttered manner. Folks like you guys who know the 3.5 EB as well as you do. Wish I had the gumption to go down another rabbit (motor) hole, but I started in the late 80's and burned out about a decade ago. More white hair than dark... lot of it things like this keeping my gears turning at night.
