Of course the chance for issues rises. I spoke to 2 people who have the edelbrock SC and both of them said they have had no issues at all. They both DD the car. The cars have done about 30k and 60k miles after getting the SCers installed. I only want to get the HP to about 250. Everything I am reading says the motor and tranny can handle up to 350HP reliably without modifications. Some people say it can even handle up to 500hp, which I find very hard to believe without completely rebuilding the motor and tranny. There is always a risk though of course. The goal is to minimize the risk ask much as possible. If I find that the 2 people I spoke to are the exception and most people have issues then the car stays NA.
