I laughed when he said a reliable engine should go 2 yrs before it needs to be gone through. Running around with +1000whp is not cheap. Makes more sense to turn it down when it is not needed. 700 to 750whp for the street is more than enough for street driving.

You run 1000whp, and you are tearing down a motor frequently. Chit breaks faster. Just ask Top Fuel crews when they tear down an engine between runs...

I think you missed my point. That is exactly why I laughed because the folks wanting 1000whp have no idea of the cost of maintenance. I make what I make and I sure won't be running that power all the time.

I know lots of people read this thread. You can't get away with the crazy things I did when I was young. Never did this though. Please think before you smash the gas. There is a time and place for everything.
