I just wonder because they are so new and now people are making good power will we start to find out there breaking point. Stock internals will only go so far.
There are cars making 700-800 rwhp on stock internals. My car isn't making that power yet so my engine didn't lock up because of power.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.
