all im saying is calling it bulletproof when it hasnt even been proven to run at 700hp for a year is a looooooooooooooong shot.
in a year when that car is still running on that same motor, with 8k miles on it, make sure you come back and send me a message.
anyone can take a motor and make a lot of power with it in the short term, hell the people that made my turbokit ran 23psi on a stock 4.0 v6 several times and never blew the motor.
i have a friend with an 03 cobra that has 660rwhp for 4 years now and 30k miles daily driven.

I'm going to teach you a word : I R O N. Your block is iron. Next, titanium pistons yes, but also other forged internals obviously. The cylinder walls in the ls3 are pretty damn tough, up to 1000+hp. I don't care if your cobra can handle 1500, because it will jackknife when it comes to a curve.
And yes, you can determine reliabilty because we have seen what ls3's can do...and this sure as hell is a freak of a ls3 block.
