[QUOTE="Chancey, post: 16194983, member: 194344"] Man Im with ya on anything can happen, and its never stopped me from modding. However oil pump gears, changing to BAP, etc., can go bad and the gears are just good insurance. Now if I had a weekend warrior and never touched redline I wouldnt worry too much as a rule about such. I am a nut about maintenance, always keeping fresh oil/fluids and such. Its weird that one car can be high miles and abused to death while never giving issues, then another with the same everything fail early on. My point being if it is “possible” and the upgrade is really hard/expensive I might (usually) run the risk and not keep it in redline. I do always drive mine hard though and usually every single day. So when you say “probable” failure, Im gonna go the best easy insurance route on my GT500 engine. I had a heavy modded and supercharged 5.0 in my 2017 mustang GT.
