How hard is it to actually blow a stock VQ motor?

That's why no one drives my Z except for me . . .
It also doesn't help when Altered Atmosphere raises your rev limiter to 7300RPM without asking or telling you and you snap a connecting rod when you hit the rev limiter at 7300RPM. That cost me my first motor. RIP!

This happens to me sometime when I autox. I bounce of the redl limiter 6.5k just for a bit. I wonder about any long term damage too.

When you shift from 3rd to 2nd, there is no such thing of a rev limiter. You can easily blow up your engine...
