It sure is. If i were doing it to my own car, I wouldn't go close to those numbers, but we inform everyone of the risks involved when increasing output, and for the average street driven car, those numbers seem to be the point where failures start to get REALLY common.

More increased output = higher chances of failure. Where the risk is acceptable to each person is for them to decide, but at 242whp, Edelbrock is willing to warranty a drivetrain that they didn't make. That speaks volumes.
