I've never heard of a timebomb ticking for a year and a half that keeps on ticking.:shrug:you see how its so hesitant at the 500 range. Plus is that even ASE corrected? That is a ticking time bomb
ASE corrected was not a criteria put forth by the OP.
Furthermore the blower belt was slipping and the plug gap was .035.
Jim D'Amore recommended .030 which I regapped them to after it came off the dyno.
I fail to see how with hundreds of people running in the 500rwhp range some for as long as 3 years now people can't believe it's doable.
There are nearly 1000 people using the JDM setup and tune in the 400-525rwhp range with stock internals.
The only known failure was one who claimed his fuel pressure would struggle to regain after a shift.
I'm very confident that it can last another full season but if I have the funds available this winter I will be building my shortblock.
The bottom end of these engines let go usually from detonation. Obviously these rods cannot withstand the increased cylinder pressures.
Detonation increases cylinder pressure threefold.
