Default RE: what do you consider abuse?

Mines got about 200 passes on it always with hard launches. Mostly powershifting 1-2 at 6750 rpm, 2-3 at 6625 rpm, and trapping at 6400-6600 rpm in 3rd. I will let you know when it goes "Boom".....

"Abuse" to me is missing a shift, scratching gears, 6000+ rpm clutch drops on slicks, overheating, repeat hotlaps without clutch cooldown or extended oil changes (7500+ on conventionalor 15,000+ on synthetic) withou analysis to back it up.

Not many. Its mostly a weekend toy. About 5000 miles but most were to and from the strip.
It will not get twisted that high when the power adder goes on.
I do have the money to build a new engine if it comes to that.

I am fairly confident of the rpm (without a power adder) as the rods are very similar to the NA 4V Cobra.
They have larger beams and and are stronger than the non-Windsor 2V rods.
Yes I do know they are powdered metal.
I do think a 2008 Bullitt balancer might be a good addition though.

Edited Previous Post:
1-2 6750 rpm, 2-3 6625 rpm, Trap 6400-6600 rpm in 3rd (depending on temp).
Car actually sees around 6800-6850 rpm during the powershift.
