Catalyst is the only one w/ a blown tranny as i far as i know. as for motor, most people w/ stock d17 only blow head gasket.
I think i only hear about 2 blown motor (that is due to boost spike (I think)).

if you stay under 13psi and have a good fuel setting keep from detonating you are good to go. I Have been doing fine at 13psi and I heat the drag radials up everytime I do a pass. No tranny problems what so ever. The clutch will go out first.

I have two videos of me racing at the track in germany last summer if someone can host them. one is me waxing a mustang GT 5.0 with a full upper engine eidlbrock system and the other is me waxing a 96 civic si turbo hatch. first run I ran a 14.3 and the second against the civic was a 13.9 at 12psi. This was the first day with my new drag radials too. I love them so much.

Crewchief, what do you think the highest psi daily driven you can push (safely and realiably) on the stock fuel pump? I'm thinking before i do internals, i might get a dual stage boost controler and run 6lbs for low boost and 9lbs for high boost. Whatcha think?

So in the end, was all the hassle at the shop worth the outcome?
