Those guys know there stuff! We will have an eye on this as my car will have one of the first units pushing really high rpms. If there becomes an issue we will address it. However, through our testing so far we have not seen this as a weak point yet. Just like many are surprised that my car is still running stock trans gears at over 1100hp at the crank yet GTRs have to have theirs replaced at this level. We want to be smart about replacing parts if there isnt a need we dont want to charge the customer for it.

Thanks,
