We see eye to eye, don't know what you are arguing with. But I won't take the bait.

You can reread my post, but I am sure: "My plan is simple. mess around for a year at it's power levels, throw it into high boost after the year. Just see how long this engine can survive a 630/550+ beating while my built block is waiting." Was pretty clear that I expect the block to be on borrowed time at that number....

I get it tho, you like to argue...go nuts. I am in the wrong thread anyhow. I believe this is your side of town

I actually read your post as slightly redundant. I totally read your statement above and understood that, but then I didn't understand the 20-40k estimate... I just assumed you drove like 20-30k a year meaning that once you switched to high boost, it would be gone

Thats how I took it too I mean he did say he drives it like it owes him money (and for 11k I assumed that meant he drives it hard and a lot)

Also I'm not on either side of the fence, I'm just not the type to take up torches and burn down one side over internet speculation, The F.I. kit is great but it's too rich for my, and many other peoples blood, does the old GTM kit have some things that could be improved yes, is it crap? no lots of guys have made good trouble free power with it and still do, there are a ton of them out there, and they are priced afford-ably. I get it everyone can express their opinions but a lot of you guys have turned it into a witch hunt, and now apparently everyone has to take a ******* side? what is this the ford vs. chevy camps at bathurst?
