Also, everyone drives their cars differently, some have more care than others. Just because your car lasted X amount of miles boosted, doesn't mean mine will with the same setup.
i.e. street pulls are easier on the car than 4-5th gear hwy pulls, so drag racing will be easier on the engine than high speed street racing.
Also is someone daily drives their car, and out of 40k miles only 10k are boosted, thats makes a difference as well.
Basically what will determine how long it lasts is how you drive it and take care of it.

do you think building the block first would give you less worries, depending on the driving of course or does it not really matter cause the first things to worry about would be leaks from continuous boost or a rod through the block. . .?

I completely agree!
Thanks for the information.
that's what i was thinking as well. . .i really haven't heard of any built HR's yet, kinda sucks cuz within a year i would like to start with the heads first and work my way to the block, then transmission, suspension and so on and so on and thennnnnnnnnnnnnnn. . . .WAMMY! A TT setup from PF. . .!!!!!!!!
nice. . .can't wait to see them. . .were the o2 sensors changed out with the TT or are they stock, and let us know if the race gas messes up the sensors cause i was told that race gas can mess up o2 sensors. . .?
Oh, and IB. . .GREAT SETUP!. . .come pick me up and bring me to work every day till i get my own TT. . .

Depends on the 'race gas'. Leaded fuel greatly decreases the life of O2 sensors. VP makes MS109, which is a 105oct race gas that is unleaded. Even running an occasional tank of leaded race gas isn't going to hurt them too much.
Just wanted to give everyone an update on the car, everything is running great.
Unfortunately I was rear ended a little over a month ago, the link below has all the details and before and after pics. Everything is back to normal, had to get an Oil Filter Relocation kit through out the process. Read on if interested:

Very few of their stations sell it, but some do. One of their stations in Tampa, FL sells it.
