Message	Well said. I have been battling with this for a while now and it seems that every motor is just not lasting long at all. Obviously the better the shop, the longer it will last. This is my primary reason I keep my motor stock internally. If I spend $6-10k, I want to be sure the motor with the right tune is not going to be sacrificed. ****472 RWHP/461 TORQUE ON 110 RACE GAS @21 PSI ****438 RWHP ON 93 OCTANE PUMP GAS/STOCK MOTOR**** ****429 FT LBS/TQ******************************* Also own: 2001 Harley Davidson Custom Softail Deuce 1997 Ford Explorer XLT V8 AWD 1993 300ZX 2+2 NA 1991 Yamaha YZ250 1985 Ford Bronco 3" lift, 35" Tires Sold: 1987 Nissan 300zx na(Z31) 1979 280ZX 2+2 1972 MGB 1968 Pontiac Firebird
