[QUOTE="mwilson6192, post: 14786135, member: 144793"] It depends upon how one drives their car. Drag racing and constant power hits to the engine, and it won't last long. Taking care on the RPM levels, not dragging the car and not constant WOT, etc. and the engine should last a long time. From what I can gather, I am a rather unusual GT500 owner/driver with my staid driving habits, and because of these driving traits I am comfortable on where the power levels are with a stock engine. I fully understand that with any performance modifications, the engine could let go tomorrow, but I have a reasonable expectation that it will stay together based upon the above. I trust my tuner (Tasca Modshop) and they gave me the limits of driving the car with longevity in mind. The car should have excellent street drivability as before, and I am at the top limits of the stock engine. Anything more would require a built engine, and this met my goal (e.g. taking it to the limit without removing and building the engine). Correspondingly, I won't be adding anything additional to the engine in the future. [/QUOTE]
