I have had small issues like a coupler blowing off and have added parts like the FBM radiator and oil cooler to make sure the car runs properly. I still generally believe this motor is very forgiving and can take a proper amount of boost, fuel, and timing for a long time and many miles.
I probably baby my car, but I do open it up every once and a while. Just can't help it at times

Well put though. Thats basically the point I was trying to make.

I think too many people get into the F/I scene without properly educating themselves first. Nothing wrong with learning as you go (which is what I did many years ago), but you need to be a step ahead even if only by a little.
