    You should do a video where you actually degree the cams. Especially like you said, after you rotate they're always slightly off. Should be able to pick up some free horsepower by dialing in the cam timing. I know that would require a much higher spec build with adjustable cam gears and higher lift more duration camshafts.

      I have hundreds of stock motor customers at this point at 500+whp. It’s obviously hard to keep track of all of them and mileage but I have several examples going on 1-2 years and 50k+ miles without issue.
      One example I will point out is a 21 STI I tuned at 5k miles with a original engine and 6466 combo, made 696whp @ 32PSI and is still living to this day 2 years later and is now at 60k miles on the engine.
      Ownership will dictate 90% on how long something like this will last, treat it like a racecar and it will break like a racecar
