Reliability? 400hp stock bottem end
I have 96k on the car right now with the stock bottem end,
I put the cam and had some headwork done at 83k,
Can i daily drive this car to 150k, i don't race it too often maybe 1 good race a month,
My problem is I am going away to college probably at christmas time next year and need to either sell it or keep it,
I won't have a garage or anything at school of course, however i will come home every 2 or 3 weeks, 90 minutes away
my mods are below,
So basically can the stock bottem end hold 400hp for another 40 or 50,000 miles,
I know i will have to adjust the rockers throughout that period and i will put in a new fuel pump before i leave, but everything else on this vehicle is basically new,
what do you think?
2nd option (buy an ls1?) I gotta have my GM RWD V8,
thanks,
Jesse

With only a Hotcam you should be just fine. However, your compression is kinda high so make sure you always run high test, which I am sure you do anyways. With as little abuse as you are puttin on it (1 race a month) you should be just fine. Why do you need to keep readjusting your rockers?

yea i always run 93 octane, my computer is programmed for it,
I'm not sure really what i am gonna do, if anyone has an LS1 out there I'll trade them my car plus cash,
anyone else have high miles, stock shortblock, and 400 hp(325+rwhp)
