Maybe that's a weak point, but I can guarantee that they don't normally go on a NA engine at 30k miles.

You supercharged your car that was designed for NA. The engine expired at 30k miles. Not coincidence IMHO. I agree with @Pat 100%.
Haha... ok Do you know how to do the math? Let's start by assuming a typiclal thermal efficiency of about 20%. Do you get why we need to know that? Shall we continue?

See, you and Pat need to be invested in this little exercise. Otherwise I'm just being suckered into doing enough math to prove my point. Can you do the math to prove yours?
