AAM Intake Manifold Q

There could be some correlation, but I would be surprised if its extremely significant. Perhaps there is some resonant frequency or something occurring somewhere in the upper range that is rocking the cylinders. I would say that torque output is a far less convoluted indication of cylinder pressures than horsepower (torque at higher RPM) or boost levels.

Just because yours failed at 700 doesnt mean it couldnt hold 800-900-1000, or could have failed eventually at 600. Dont forget the fatigue and wear factor. Just like we can run a stock engine at 800 for a while... it will eventually fail, but when it does, you might only be running 600 at that moment.
