5K miles (not a daily driver) tuned with all versions of PROcede since V1.47 up to V3.1. About 30 dragstrip passes. No issues.

11K miles, 2007, daily driver, tuned with all versions of PROcede since V1.47 up to V3.1. Two limp incidents at small throttle openings during warm up on beta version of V3 due to 5200 foot altitude. Newer version with altitude compensated lag fix, fixed the problem just a Shiv said it would. My only complaint is it's hard on tires. Only other mod is Hula Dancer on dash.

27k miles, Proceeded for the majority of time...I am the 3rd owner, the first owner had it for a couple of months, so maybe 1-2k miles, 2nd owner put about 15k miles (proceeded almost the whole time) I put about 2-3kmiles stock, and 5k miles proceeded....Maybe 20-24k miles with Tune:

1 Fuel Pump
2 VANOS solenoids
Cam Shaft Ledge excessive wear

--------------------------------------

NOTE: people with completely stock cars have experienced the above failures as well.

I know someone that might have:
18000 miles, ~12000 tuned with Procede V2, V3., 250+ dragstrip runs. No problems except excessively worn tires. (brakes are getting a little squeaky too)
