Question what caused this?

I sent my truck off last year to troyer performance to have some additional performance goodies added to it. One of them was upgrading the Procharger P1SC to a D1SC. After 9 months I finally get it back. There was 1500 bucks worth of dyno tuning done to it while it was there. In less than 300 miles, the impeller seal let go and 5 out of the 8 spark plugs were totally burnt up. I believe what is called the grounding strap was completely burnt off. That happening evidently lead to valve damage in cylinder #2. I am waiting for an explanation from troyer on what caused this,BUT I would like some opinions on what you guys think might have been the culprit. I don't know enough about what could have caused this to dispute what he may try to tell me and make it sound like it was my fault that it happened. Any opinions will be appreciated.

It sounds like the air/fuel mixture was too lean.
