I'm not saying a modified car is inherently unreliable, BUT, when you add a 30% power hike over stock you are putting all the oily bits further out of their comfort zone.
30% increase over stock on unopened engine = IMO acceptable risk
Oh, and I don't go easy on my cars, I'm a classic old hoon, lots of LC, FFS, sliding around corners, nearly every day, I accept the risk because it's fun.
I do know that at any stage my block may get a bay window or my gearbox might lunch itself.
This could, and does, happen to a stock engine, for me, right now, I'm working the powertrain 30% more, cause and effect.
Opinions, as well as acceptable risk, may vary
