So Im dialing the tune back a bit... Zach was thinking the current tune put me in the neighborhood of 500whp (18psi E73). The new tune will be more conservative @ 1bar of boost.

Ill be taking it back to FullBlown hopefully in the next couple weeks to get it dynoed.

I just wish I new why this happened.

You ran too hot and built too much pressure.
I am still very surprised it is the HG since none of what you described as symptoms fit the normal blown HG scenario.
How did they determine it was the HG for sure? Not being stubborn I just don't see it and would like to understand the situation better.

Honestly, when LJ saw the amount of timing that the log showed, he was dead set on it being the HG. (Not to say that was the actual reason why it blew)

So maybe they got lucky? I dont know. Im sure glad they didnt pull the engine for nothing.

I just drove it home from FullBlown, and even with the 65C thermostat, the coolant temp still rose to 202F when sitting at idle. The fans would then turn on, and fall back down to 194F. Im starting to think thats normal

That's perfectly normal and nothing to do with the thermostat. Need that air flow. That's why the nascar guys blow up just because they pick up a plastic bag across the bumper.
