If it blows I'll put in another engine and turn it down more. I have it on the low 700 's now but it's not like I would always ride around and 700 and yes I'll be going to the track if it blows I don't give a **** I'll put another one in. The engine is amazing its live the last three years at 550 or more torque. About 12 track days and three z days trips plus local racing here. So it did all that before going to 831. But I do understand it could blow it anytime. But let's have fun with it until then and not worry about when it blows. But engines are cheap and if it does I'll order one the same day.

TRUE, I am 50 yrs old and I have been modding cars since I was 16 yrs old. If I could pass my knowledge to the younger generation it would be a good thing. Several guys on here have done the exact same thing as me. Rusty comes to mind. I just get tired of seeing this stuff posted. All I see is this "Look at me, I am an idiot".

![]() To be old and wise. First you have to be young and dumb. And survive the experience. I've had my share of screw-ups. Most self-inflicted. And learned over the years. Plan, and research. I'm like Spooler here. I hate to see some newb waste money that could go some place else. When they fail. They might not understand on what went wrong. And that will put them in a bigger hole to get out of. If they would only listen to half the stuff we say. It would prevent a lot of heartaches.

I think a lot of it has been in response to all the people saying "I give it 2 pulls on the dyno before it blows up", "It's gonna explode inside a week", "There's no way he'll even be able to drive it home before it pops", not some shady marketing. One of the annoying facts of life is you can't fix stupid, especially stupid that is too lazy/doesn't want to be to fixed.
