Message	I had it put on at 70K miles. Then went drag racing for almost 2 years on it. So we're talking about crazy abuse. Round after round of 1/4 mile redline passes. Up until we pulled the perfectly running motor @ 90K miles, NO PROBS! Take it for what its worth! Note this is on the NA. I've yet to put it on the TT. -Arnel Z32racing - Site last updated 10/28/2001.
