Not trying to scare off anyone because 98% of all never have an issue...just if you are in that 2%.... there is no such thing as a sure thing either way... but thats what makes it so darn fun
So if your blown your motor then your a 2%er.

Knock on wood I'm not there, yet.

I've been thinking about upping the rev limiter closer to 7k but if I blow the motor I'm not gonna blame the supercharger ;-) lol

Been running 10 PSI on the B302 for 5 months now, no issues yet. Before that ran 10 PSI on the stock block for a year and a half, no issues. Raced and drove it hard.
