Definitely. I'll be honest, I was a bit concerned as to what the outcome of the engine would be if you really ran it all out at full boost for the entirety of the event, mostly having to do with rods that aren't much thicker than a swizzle stick. The fact that it performed under sustained load, with multiple runs, and was driven there and back is a serious sign of the big power dream being close to reality. I am very excited to have this setup multiply itself onto other cars, and to have it log thousands of hard miles, to see what it's really capable of handling. Because the ability to daily drive 600+whp and 500+wtq would be simply too tempting to pass up.
