It is stupid people, bad\budget setups, lack of tuning, lack of precautionary maintenance that kills engines...no matter what power-adder. All power-adders push stock blocks out of OEM spec but most can handle some over headroom. The key is not to over push, read your plugs, periodically check cylinder compression, dialin a good tune and stay within tuned psi. There are ways to manage risk and control the torque, but there will always be some risk.
Exactly. Your engine really has no way of knowing how all of the extra O2 got in there. It has no idea if it's from a turbo, supercharger or NO2. Like eveything else, it's about the supporting mods and tune, not the power adder.
