So the grand total on down time will be 3 1/2 weeks and $11k.

I know everyone is saying "you have to pay the cost to be the boss" but for me it would take a little while to get all the funds for all the supporting parts that I would want to be able to safely run FI. I couldn't imagine spending all that and my engine blowing up the same day and now I'm looking at 10K+ to get it back and running. My question is: if you get all the supporting parts, upgraded pump etc. will it really be reliable then?
