Agreed. Everyone always asks about reliability and alot of people reply back everything SHOULD be fine. Reliability goes out out the window when you are doubling or tripling the hp that this car was designed to be. It is a big daisy chain hp/trq always finds the weak link, and it never stops looking for it. If you know that going in it makes the process a lot easier to stomach.
