I will use Joby just as an example. Say, Joby wants a ride. I give him one at my normal 17psi of boost level. Joby: "Wow, it is fast but I thought it would have more." Me: "OK, I will turn it up to high boost." We make a run and something goes wrong. A head gaskets blows. Me: "Oh crap, this is going to be expensive". Me: "SOB, it is going to be 16k to 20k to get the motor redone." Me: "How fast can I get the car back in the shop and how long is this going to take?" Me: "I am screwed, it is going to be a year before MA-Motorsports can get to my car. This sucks." Joby: "Sorry man, I hate to hear that, while walking away." So ya see, he has a damn good point. We all know reliability starts to be an issue around 800whp. I am right at it. My motor could pop a head gasket at any time running high boost, just like other folks have. At the end of the day it was my choice to do the build the way I have. I am responsible for it and the way I choose to drive it. It's just the way it is at the moment. One guy sold his car because of the issue and totally got out. I can understand that. I may would do the same. Last edited by Spooler; 09-27-2019 at 10:07 PM. |
