I remember reading his website and he was trying lower and lower gate resistance as well to get faster switching times. I don't know how his layout compares to ours, but I wonder if his mosfets died from over-voltage with the higher voltage spikes rather than from over-heating.
also, might depend on ambient temp - it's hot in australia, ya? i guess it's hot in AZ too.
as you say though, only one way to find out... thanks!
