[QUOTE="customperforman, post: 4631837, member: 26559"] according to Richard Holdener (a mod engine expert) neither. or, of the two, excessive boost as boost creates heat. he claims high RPMs kill rods and heat cracks ring lands and burns pistons. he dislikes the claim of 400hp as the max for a 2v engine and states most failures are due to detonation and overspinning. detonation will kill any engine; forged pieces just withstand it for longer. Ryan T. (ryan98gt) was running 613 on a stock bottom end just to see how much it could take on his S Trim car. it lived because he shifted at 5800 religiously. also, two notes for your information: the cobra at 9.5 lbs making that power was on nitrous. and more importantly, you cant compare boost from turbos/blowers as apples to apples. they are two different animals. it does take less boost for a turbo to make the same power as a blower.
