Default anybody daily drive around on a fully built motor?

i'm just preparing myself... but during the summer i'm going to have to commute about 50-60 miles a day just to go to summer school, at first i was debating to just buy a stock motor and run it from there... but i'm almost done with the motor i'm building.. the build up is a as follows

Head

I do I do I do. I just put 2500+ miles on it over the course of 2 weeks driving to and back from my parents. I put about 30 miles a day on it to school, and 10-15 for other misc driving around. Keep in conservative, run lower compression, lower timing, and lower boost and there's no reason it shouldn't last a long time.

My built motor honda is my only car (besides when I break it and have to borrow the partents)... but that aside, yeah, I'd trust it just like I trusted my honda stock. Unless your winding out the gears 484834 miles away from home, what is there to go wrong?

I do....lots of people I am sure do the same. Like the guy before said, tuning is the key.
