Message	:Zo has pushed his car MUCH harder (Higher HP) for a long time. Bryan just broke his in, and I bet that Mike had not pushed his over 20psi, maybe a few times at best. Both of them used different rebuilders, but JUN pistons. Also Mike Smith (tt.net member, not engine builder) had many problems with his engine with Wiseco pistons. :TTPete has not posted any problems, and from the sounds of it, he has cranked the boost up a few times. :Who knows? Has the issue more often been oil delivery and/or heat?
