When I put items/parts on my cars I do not look as they are an investment,or how they will get me my money back for better mileage etc, I look for performance increase & if the part/s will fit that need ,,,so be it & buy it.

Yep I agree with this 100%, I hate breaking parts. I learned a long time ago to do it right the first time if you expect it to last. So I build my junk as strong as I can.

What would be fun for an experiment is to take a low cost 4200 and take the low buck approach - apart from porting the exhaust port - leave it alone. Then add boost until it pops... early 4200 can be had for <$500.
