Message	I cant imagine a turbocharged motor with high compression let alone "gigantic" turbos and high compression having any kind of reliability or longevity..5k miles is my guess and Im spreading it fat.. My dad (an old school motorhead from the 50's) always said it best, "Put your ten speed bike in first gear and ride it around like that for 50 miles up and down hills and all around without coming out of first gear..How long will you last doing that? Now Imagine that with an engine that's "full tilt" all the time." Im sure the guys involved in this build aren't asking for any kind of longevity..Time will tell... Oh wait, No it wont..In true tt.net fashion, They wont post once it detonates or the bearings are shot..:) Kudos to them though for pushing the envelope.. My opinion is motor wont last long...Im no expert though..Best of luck to them...nice numbers no matter what... ****CURRENT DYNO RESULTS AS OF 11-18-13 SPORT 700BB TURBOS- 514 RWHP/468 FT TORQUE ON 93 PUMP GAS @ 18 PSI ****OLD DYNO RESULTS: GT28R TURBOS- 438 RWHP ON 93 OCTANE PUMP GAS/STOCK MOTOR**** ****472 RWHP ON 110 RACE GAS******************************* Also own: 2001 Harley Davidson Custom Softail Deuce 1993 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 NA 1997 Ford Explorer XLT V8 AWD 2000 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer XLT 1991 Yamaha YZ250 Sold: 1985 Ford Bronco 3" lift 35" tires 1986 Yamaha FJ1100 1986 Nissan 300zx na(Z31) 1979 280ZX 2+2 1972 MGB 1968 Pontiac Firebird 1972 Nissan 240Z, dual webber carbs, etc
