The funny thing about this thread is that we were talking about maintaining a boosted beast of a Z. It doesn't matter how much power is usable or even how much power you are putting down. The things that matter are:

1. Are you allowing proper warm-up and cool-down cycles?
2. Are you regularly inspecting the items that you installed as well as the normal maintenance items?
3. Do you have a feeling for what it feels like when it is running right, so that you can feel if something is different?
4. Do you have things in place to monitor various functions that give you indications of problems?
5. If this is your first rodeo, have you done your research AND talked to the pros?

I agree that stuff happens and you cannot prevent every failure, but you can do a lot to minimize the chances of it being catastrophic. These things seem like common sense to me, but everyone has their own opinion and/or perception of how things are.
