I don't know about a motor.. but be prepared to buy a new clutch (stage 2 or better) and tires more often. Thats the main thing that is holding me back right now. Wear and tear on the car.

I've had the Roush (Eaton)for 20K miles...no problems. But if you don't care about warranty get the Kenne Bell.

No engine problems, but burned up 3rd gear in my tranny. Not cheap to fix either. At least now I have a tranny temp gauge and beefier parts for it.

Yes I havea Kenne Bell at 11 PSI and I lost third gear alsowhen my trans was stock but the motor has been flawless. I run 100 octane Rockett racing fuel to be safe.

There was a post a while back about a blown motor at 470rwhp, i don't remember what s/c or turbo it was though. Of the big three twin screws i've never seen a failure at the recommend boost level with the stock tune, but I haven't looked all that hard either.
