The whole point of this thread is that shit starts breaking as you ramp up the power, gotta pay to play. Never posited the argument that '240 whp is enough' (or trying to posit that 250whp is the 'limit'). I bet more than a few people will read the OP and come to the conclusion that all FI is unsafe on a stock block when so far it's been pretty bulletproof if you're conservative. Especially when this is the headline:

Here it goes, THE NUMBER 1 REASON the fa20 blows up under F/I is THE RODS SUCK they are nothing more than TIME BOMBS under the STRESSES that F/I PUTS OUT!!!!!!!!! PERIOD the END!!!!!
And for ~$5k, less than 20% of the initial purchase price of the car, a ~50% increase in power that's reliable, daily drivable, and not illegal ain't too shabby. I plan on driving this car hard, my dollar is going towards the most reliable setup and I'll probably never bother to dyno it, much less take it to the strip.



As to the rest of the thread.
