will the stage 1 hold up in the long run, i mean a long *** time, 100,000miles? gruppe-s claims 535hp capable, but how much is somebody in the really running on these short blocks? will it handle mucho power safely and reliably???

ive had my orignal uber car's motor blow twice while at sac raceway...honda prelude, h22a, blah blah blah...i just dont wanna deal with the hassle of blown motors ever again while making modifications to my car for power
I can't comment then as I also work at Gruppe-S.

One thing I will say is that while our engines certainly can live for 100,000 miles a lot depends on the other parts and tuning of the car.

Personally if I was looking for something with no issues to ever come back from mods I would probably just leave my car stock and enjoy it while sitting back knowing the factory warranty will support it.

what does the stage 2 (not the race one) engine setup include? does it really rev to 8000rpm?
