I have had a lot of experiance in destroying engines over my 40 years of hooning,racing and just fucking up mechanical things.The damage caused by an overrev quite often does not show up right away.I had one engine in a snowmobile that was stuck at full throttle on its side unloaded in the trees with no oil presure for over a minute.It ran fine for 1000 kms and then a rod bearing let go and took out the bottom end.I have seen massive overrevs in other peoples cars where the vehicle ran fine for a while and then blew up while being used normally.
Start modifying an already highly stressed stock motor you have to expect that there will be failures.If you are not prepared for this possibility when you mod your car.Maybe you should not be playing in this arena.Start with something else that has the power you want in the 1st place instead of playing the mod game and go crying to everybody when it breaks!
