it seems to me that the people whoa re responding have mostly stock engines, I want to hear from the people with built motors w/ low compression pistons and all. That is the question.

my first motor lasted 3k miles, 9:5 compression, stock sleeves. cracked #4 sleeve cause it was untuned. blew at the track and ran 12.4 @ 97mph, shut down 3/4 down the track.
My current motor is still running, im about 600 miles and its basically bullet proof.

1 year. 30K. T-25 boosting 12psi on stock ZC. No problems until tranny input bearing wen't out.
Currently waiting to get my parts to rebuild the tranny. Then I will be testing my new SC32 turbo setup on my stock ZC, as I wait to finish my built ZC.
