Highest TN on stock flash is 30K miles and going. Others have done similar. All you can do is run the safest possible set up and hope for the best, I did this and still came out on the losing end, its the way car $hit goes. I dont blame our motors or TN, any kit can blow your motor....

Looking forward to a All-350Z Day at Maryland International Raceway in the fall of 2006. When the weather is 60 degrees not 87!

I'm seeing 10's in Bert's future. Maybe even 9's if he's crazy enough to get a fully built long block... Hmmmmm. Tragedy often turns opportunity in the right hands...
