The one thing not really mentioned here is engine life of a S/C engine. Does the amount of boost effect engine life? IE: 5 pounds of boost and the engine will last 100k and 12 pounds it will only last 50k. Or is it not as simple as that? fd

You had better check again! Here is what FRPP says about the non-HO version...:http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tkeyfield=9646
and here is what it says about the HO version: http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tkeyfield=9765

I might be ignorant, but it seems to me that both non-H.O. andH.O. say "no warranty". Show me differsnt........Oh yeah, you can't!!

Ok I stand Corrected... My local FRPP Dealer stated they would warranty the 400hp install (with a 3500.00 Install Cost)
but not the 500HP version.

If you have $7,000 to blow on a s/c you'd better have some jack to cover a new motor...If you had a honda or acura or infinity do you think they'd cover your vehicle after putting a turbo/supercharger on it?

It's not quite that simple as putting a mileage number on boost but your thoughts are correct. Engine life descreases and risk of failure increases as boost gets turned up. And yes, this is true on built motors too. Everyone is so concerned about a built bottom end and think they can run 1000 hp with it but it's really not that simple.

When you start getting into big boost, believe it or not, the vast majority of the failures are not in the rotating assembly but in the valve train.

The bigger the boost, the bigger the risk and if any shop tells you that you can run 800 rwhp with a built bottom end without crap breaking is LYING TO YOU. Sure, get a built bottom end and it might hold up, but then something else is going to break - garunteed. Have to pay to play and that's just the way it is. If you beleive other or believe you can have an indesctructible set-up - you are kidding yourself.

Anyone from John Force to the old timer at the local track will tell you there is 'ALWAYS A WEAK LINK' - no matter what...

Most guys who cross the 500 rwhp mark find out really quick that our drive train and transmissions are the first thing to go after a rebuild. I've said it before and I'll say it again - if you think all you need is a forged rotating assembly to be fast - you are in for a shocker and a hit to your wallet cause no matter what anybody tells you - the rebuild is only the beginning of an expensive hobby.
