I'd love to see a video of the AVO kit on the dyno, hood closed, doing 10 back to back runs. It should be a total length of... 3-4 minutes for all the runs.
I seriously doubt any of the off-the-shelf turbo kits will *fail* on track. My concern is the loss of output as they heat soak.

I also want 250-270whp. The only reason I'd even consider a SC over a TC is because of the early onset of torque down low. I want the earliest boost possible, therefor smaller, cheaper, FI kits (win win). However I think the overhead of a turbo, just in case I do want to upgrade my torque converter and take it to a drag strip later on down the road I can and also add hp with supporting mods (I think the AVO turbo is rated at like 360 crankhp while the base kit only puts down about 272chp) where with a base SC (think Innovate) my overhead is almost shot right out of the box unless I use E85, which is so inconvenient for me I don't even consider it a possibility. This thread has been a great read, and while I'll probably never follow through on a FI kit, pretty darn good info here for anyone interested in tuning for forced induction.
