120 seconds would probably be an exaggeration...Agreed.
I am practically thinking in the direction of "road course" applications, when talking about this maximum allowable WHP figure.
1/4 Mile runs have been pretty much proven to be "safe" at 600 WHP...
As to setting the gaps on the stock pistons - Again, this means going into the motor and this I am trying (hoping) to avoid.
Moreover, it is rumored that there is no replacement for the reliability of a motor, that has been torqued correctly with the robots (man-assisted of course) at the factory...
Once opened, it looses some of the reliability attributes, even if the machine shop torques back to OE spec. - It is simply not like the process at the engine factory.
Again, I am not an expert, so this may also be a myth...
