Matt,terry, ive been hanging on this forum for years. i know I'm at the bleeding edge if i were to push it hard. hence my non participation in the event haha. i suppose im just in a round about way pondering would I need to shift into overdrive for this event? fwiw, i shift at 6000. if i could run this event without going into od, id consider it. that said im scared to run it hard at the 1/4 mile tracks here haha.
Terry, i never took it that way. the reason ive kept to the sidelines is because i know where im at with the car. its not a competition car for me, just a fun cruiser on nice days. that aside, i appreciate your insight, fortunately ive been on here long enough to understand the limitations and the consequences of getting greedy and where that threshold lies.Matt,
I'm not telling you what to do buddy.
Just giving you a thought and maybe something to consider.
If I were you and did not want to spend the dollars for a Built-Bottom-End ???
I would back off on the Boost and or Tune or a little of each whatever it took and get the Torque back below the 500 Foot Lbs.
Then I think you could run the car much harder with a lot less concern over throwing a rod through the block.
At the power level your at and BTW I've been there with mine years ago with the Stock-Bottom-End.
I was, Point-Blank-Told, it's just a matter of time if you (Keep-Pushing it Terry).
So anyway just mentioning it is all .............
