Mine is still running strong. I have a little more trans noise but I have a new clutch, flywheel, TOB & Whiteline bushing waiting to go in. Im hoping that fixes her right up.
U can push the factory motor pretty hard but for reliability when pushing over 600 wheel you should run a built motor. I pulled my Perfect factory motor and replaced it with a built MMR motor. My car is a daily driver and I didn't want to have worry about it every time I run into a Vette or high dollar Exotic on the highway. Having a garage queen and having a real street car that u get stuck in traffic for an hour when its 90+ degrees out is a huge difference. For me reliability and having the confidence that the motor won't explode is worth every penny.
Mine is a DD and I'm not worried about any of that :shrug:
Tuning and how you drive the car will determine how long it lasts built motor or not
Tuning is important but the laws of physics cant be denied. Most manufacturers typically use a margin of safety factor of 50%.
You've exceeded that margin by quite a bit with your build so maybe you should worry just a wee bit.
U running mid 9s with the stock motor?? Tuning? Justin at VMP Tunes my car.
