Dang there are some haters on here. Should have left it with the first part the second statement was just being a dick imo.

truth! It depends on the quality of parts used for the build and the tune it has. From what I can see, its got a good tune. Should last a long time!

Don't be such a flowery pink dress wearing girl. I wonder too if he'll keep swapping out engines. He is on his 3rd correct? Either some bad tunes, bad luck or a weak design. It is nice to have fast but it is better to have fast and reliable.

Love the Eaton whine, but a GT35R Evo on e85 is no joke

Lol i keep counting on him too blow his motor again, but i think he built it right this time. The first failure was caused by a lean condition, the second time the tuner set it up too rich. Spun a rod bearing. He went with a new built shortblock this time. Its only going to get worse, hes getting cams and a inline pump next so he can run over 30 PSI. I wonder how much power i would need to the wheels to beat him? Im thinking of doing a 2.8 kenne bell soon, moneys kinda tight right now.

Dude there are plenty of cars that have blown their motors even the almighty terminator or two has given up the ghost, anybody who has had to rebuild an engine should know better than to wish that on anyone. Here's a thought instead of wishing and hoping that someone else blows their motor so you can beat them, why not just I dunno mod the cars so they can be faster. Don't be so idiotic in thinking the only way to win against a car that is faster is to hope the other guy has a catastrophic failure.

30psi on a 35r evo is around 550-600whp with supporting mods and a great tune. anyhting above 30psi and youre gonna make some INSANE power. If he hits 600whp with his 3250lb car, youll need about 670rwhp to take him (maybe do a little weight redux), assuming you can drive better.
