reliabitlity doesn't go that far out the window. It's all in the parts you use and the tune.

My friend has a built turbo svt and its never running right. I'd rather have a procharger pushing close to 300 whp. Thats good enough for me.

Reliability is all in the tune and not running stupid amounts of boost on a stock motor, I have a JRSC with 100K and I have a 07 st with a turbo that’s has over 60K both motors are well over a 120K on the motor. Both motors are 100% stock and I run about 9 to 9.5 psi of boost.

The helmet has a special meaning for many drivers. How important is it to you? - It protects my head.

Do you have any special rituals when the helmet is concerned like many have? - I wipe it so that I can see better.
