No. It's the excessive timing for the fuel being used that pops them.

I would bet a hundred to one that 99% of the blown motors out there was due to Bad tuning.

Its all in the tune. I was running a chip filter an 2LB pulley for a couple months on 90 octane. My engine never blew and I was doing quite a few WOT bursts.
