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.

I am going to say this just one time. You and Jon (@Z1motorsports) need to stop bragging about how much power your car makes on a stock block. Here and Instagram. I say this because some young man/woman with just enough funds is going to attempt to do what you have done on a stock block and it is going to go boom. They won't have the funds to fix it and it will put them in a major financial bind. I say this because in my younger years I did something similar and it wasn't good. I already see some of the responses on Instagram and that is what most of these folks think.

I agree with you in principle, but I also think you learn best from pain. Lessons don't stick unless they hurt.

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".

LMAO!

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.

If someone tries to replicate this without doing their homework chances are they are going to end up with something like this:

In their defense they did state it wasn’t safe to make this much power. But from a marketing standpoint it was brilliant. If in the end the user stupid enough to do something like this and blow their motor and consider a back up Incase things go wrong then can’t feel sorry to them. If they rather takes advise from Facebook and people who get hot boi tunes so be it. No matter how much you beat a dead horse to wake up it just won’t wake up, especially with these new generation of so called car enthusiasts

Sometimes you just have to speak your mind and let the cards fall where they fall. It's not brilliant when you do the slide of hand to uneducated folks. You don't see other high end shops having to use that tactic. Their work speaks for itself.

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.
