That being said, I truly feel that most of the failures people have seen in the past can mostly be attributed to 1) heat 2) fuel, and 3) tuning. Not raw power. Are we approaching that point? Probably. But just look at the bottom end of this platform. It is no joke. Failures at ~500hp are not being caused by power alone.

I'll save a lot of the gory details around my goals, mindset, and decision making process for my build & review threads. But said another way, I went into this with eyes wide open. If it does fail, its because I chose to push it that far. This is why I have a spare short block being built in the meantime. I put my big-boy pants on before we started down this path.

Tony, Dan, Seb, & Charles held up their end of the deal (and considerably exceeded all of my expectations). Soon it will be my turn


Well said. That's how you have to approach pushing limits.

I'll be the happiest guy in the world if you figure out that the motor will take 700whp on a stock motor. If 700's the new limit, then I'll add fuel and retune and go looking for 600whp. Time will tell, and I wish you guys all the luck. I'm not trying to be negative. The results are fantastic. We're just curious where the new limit is, since the old one has been shattered into tiny, tiny pieces.

Every F.I. car has left with more power than the previous one. That's saying something.
