So don't get paranoid over what you just read. 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 mile events on both cars. Set them up right and they will last. The failures have all seem to be one company, although the builder of the Karmann pulley seemed to let the QC go down hill after Rudy pulled out. If you are afraid of a failure, then leave them stock. 13 second quarter mile isn't all that bad.
I hear you doc, just wanted to make sure it was set up properly and I realize that whenever you mod a car, you are taking a risk. Also, installed the nw psk and have drove 50 plus miles since and I definitely feel and enjoy the extra power now, can't wait for the tune! The car is nice in stock form, but I want to get the most out of it without having to do any internal engine work or modding of the fuel system. Still want a car that is pretty reliable as well. So I've gone the 65mm w/ psk, dcai, catch can, and tune route. Don't really plan on doing anything else to it aside from trying 275's on the back if traction becomes an issue and upgrading to the supercooler if heat soak becomes a problem in the virginia summer.
