So far it's been ok. It is most definitely at its limit. I don't dare turn the boost up because I know it won't hold.

I went to the drag strip a few weeks ago and that's where I really noticed its limitations. The first couple of runs I wasn't trying to launch hard. Then I decided to give it one good launch. Not a good idea. LOL.

I will be upgrading it over the winter. I was going to do it this year but I spent my mod budget on the exhaust.

yea or you could be like me i drive my car like grandma and still ended up needing an engine rebuild when i was having the car dynoed for water-meth trying to be even safer.
maybe the car came from the factory with slight piston ring defects or maybe the owner before me was driving the car hard i dont know but this was my dd now i drive a crown vic while me car sits in the shop
only good thing and i mean the only good thing is when i am behind people in the crown vic they move over because they think i am the cops lol
