i'll call BS on that as well. too many guys running the stock bottom end without issue. A buddy of mine made 400+ track passes with a KB in the mid 11s (10psi and 450+rwhp) on the stock bottom end with no issue. IMO that's a lot more abuse than a DD would see with 450 at the tire.

It's simple....if you are that worried about it, buy the Whipple HO Kit and also buy a Built Motor.
I'm going with a iron block, forged internals, cobra crank and then I'm going to turn up the boost!

Yes, I thought we were talking motors. My trans broke from the suopercharger too but my engine is still healthy. I am over 500 RWHP and still here after 2 years.

It goes without saying we all have to pay to play. If we want more power, it cost more $$ and puts stresses on parts we don't think about. If you want more power but can't deal with the thought of blowing your motor because of a tune, boost spike, bad gas, manufacture defect or whatever, then stay away from modding beyond bolt ons.
It seems the Ford rep was talking out his ***. If it were truly an SC kit that made your motor a ticking bomb then it wouldn't be as popular as it is. The whipple is a good kit. Ofcourse it will reduce engine life and cause stresses other places, but to come up with a number of 20k miles? Please show me the numbers behind that.
and +1 billion to motor failures coming from tune issues. . .
