Beefing up the short block for tt

Longevity is where the "variables" come in. Ur installer, ur tuner, ur driving habits. Get a good installer/tuner and you will minimize detonation. 525whp is fine. Now if ur gonna baby ur car everyday and not see full boost motor will last a long time. If u follow all the speed limits you most likely wont have a problem.
Now if you're gonna use the stage 2 the way it was meant to be used sparingly you'll be ok.
If ur gonna slam the gas n drop the clutch at every light that turns green ur motor won't last built or stock. If ur gonna hit 150+ everytime ur merging on the highway ur motor won't last built or stock.
If ur gonna redline it from 1st thru 6th ur motor won't last built or stock.

If u use it right and maintain it properly it should last quite awhile. If a 'Vette tries to show u up spank em, big event coming up that happens every few months at the track u can run down the track a few times.

You know your driving habits and how you treat your car better than anyone else here.
Just research, figure out what u want and if its worth it take the plunge!

I've been boosted 5k+ miles at 12lbs and my G rapes almost everything out there from a roll. I have no complaints and I push it hard at 12lbs. Worth every penny.
That being said when my motor does give up(built or stock) I have a backup car and already have funds set aside for the motor to be built.

Good luck OP
