I want to know how long until this thing Blows it's cookies with a stock bottom end.  |
Who know's.... JPC's 800+whp stock engine + Paxton 5.0L was plenty strong and didn't blow after heavy track abuse. A lot of longevity comes down to how brutal the WOT hit is on the engine and tune. Roots/ TVS/ Twin Screw superchargers are a lot harder on the engine mainly the rods due to its instant hit of hp and tq vs a centrifugal or turbo which gradually builds power as rpm increase which is much easier on an engine. A turbo is the safest way to make big power since you dont have to worry about slipping blower belts, broken cranks/keyways, brutal WOT hits, pulleys vs eboost2, ect
