I have 10 k miles 600whp low boost on my build motor built by a local machinist that I trust.
Soon to be 700whp high boost .

I am not saying 9/10 die, I am just saying he wants reliability and a built motor does not always equal reliability when it comes to cars. Especially if all he wants is ~500whp for daily driving it seems like a waste and could cause more headaches. A good tune, install and boost controller would be an overall better investment where he can drive daily on a lower boost setting and then turn it up for fun runs. Plus in 5 years time he might be onto a new car, different path with the Z, or something else and the built motor was a waste.
