So you're saying it's dead impossible to fry your piston rings if your "CONSTANTLY" doing stupid things. Well hell, if that's true, I'm gonna go out right now and run 150+ mph, my tires, tranny, engine, rear end should take it.
ohya fry your piston rings, blow the welds on the manifold and have your floor fall apart

Now I don't know about that, but saying that you can't damage some of the weakest parts of your engine by doing stupid things, is well, de de dee. You can blow any part on a stock car with enough beating done, well except for maybe the crank, pistons, and maybe the rods, but the rings would probably be the first thing to go on any highly abused car. Why is it that you think you need a good tune for N2O, it's mainly to save the piston rings amongst other things.

I'm thinking all the smoke from the drift really caused something to F up. I'm gonna have someone look at it tomarrow or later tonight.

The thing about drifting, is you have to really build your engine so that NOTHING can go wrong.. which is next to impossible because well engines are never perfect. You would have to spend ALOT of money on your car to get it to be a "drifter" believe me ive seen cars that were made to "slide or die", ive got a friend who drifts and i have to compliment him on a nice car, albeit is a nissan something and has touje ninja or some wierd name spray painted on the side (i think thats the name of the car?), his car has alot of mods, most of which i cant even remember.

Make sure that you dont scratch your painted washers and bolts when your floor falls due to the stress on the intake!!!![8D]

know in my 5 speed 99 not rolling it limits out at 4k..but rolling is like around 5600

NO NO NO, go outside and turn ur car on and just rev it, she will cut off at 4k, but she will cut the fuel off at 5500 when switchin gears.

So it worked fine later that night but I think it was because my oil needs to be changed so it didnt work. My temp guage was low but i never look at my oil pressure guage and when im normally driving it is already a little past half way so I'm guessing it was because my oil was very grity.
