If the FPR is working for you, I wouldnt worry about it. AAM actually begin testing each one, just to insure they were all working correctly.

Right I hear you, I'm just wondering what everyones doin since I haven't been here in a while. I'm also awaiting my G doing the pistons, rods, port, larger valves, test pipes w/ greddy evo2, I've added an oil cooler and gonna run 750cc RC's and tuned w/ FCon ProV. I'm just seeing what expect so will post as soon as I get the results which will be hopefully in the next week.

Not trying to call anyone out but I seriously question anyone who is pushing 500rwhp on a stock block. I've spoken with many tuners out there and none of them have told me of personal experiences where that power level is capable/reliable on the stock engine.

My belief is that so many engines blew with the Greddy and Procharger Kits that many just assumed that it was the tolerances of the rods and pistons having been reached. Well now everyone, who has been following along, knows that many kits where put on the market claiming to be "safe and complete" out of the box. They should have just called them "Tuner Kits" to let people know that the tuning for safey would definately be the owner's responsibility. I am very glad I went with my kit as I am no expert.
I think we have seen enough evidence by now to conclude that the tuning, fuel supply and timing solution (after having been addressed) can make any F.I. kit a whole hell of a lot safer. You CAN believe these power levels are safer than anyone could have imaged when we first stared to boost the VQ35. Time will tell that is for sure!!

500whp+ has been acheived on a stock block. As mentioned, only time will tell if the motors last for thousands of miles safely, and will survive repeated track abuse, or long term WOT...such as freeway racing through 5th and even 6th gear. 
Those are the true torture tests of a motor. A few dyno pulls is nothing compared to the heat thats generated by continues and sustained boost.
Each customer has to establish their tolerance for risk, and then decide whether or not to build up the bottom end. The top ring lang on the stock cast piston is just razor thin...a little bit of detonation is likely enough to shatter it pretty quickly. Be careful.

My tolerance for risk was high. I raced as much as possible. Mostly on the freeway for sustained periods of time and at high revs. Rod bolt failure and rod through the side. The short block is strong, but abuse, which is essentially what I did, will def. kill it.
