This type of thread you'll get all kinds of feedback.... not starting fires, questioning or hatin on anyone.... but pros are salesmen, thats what they get paid for.

I know when drake was running sirio engine under trinity I watched his engine temp over 300 every run. Sure theyre fast and look impressive and lots of people go out and buy them. But at 300+ there's no bearing thats going to last. I look at that as not a good engine for a club guy. It it has to be run at 300 to make power and be on the same pace as others that temp at 220. Normal people wont be happy with at 220. It doesnt matter to them how hot it runs, got a box full of them. But a good, reliable, well engineered engine will serve the average guy (like me) for a long time. I look at what pro's run with limited interest, they can make anything work and thats why their rock stars and we're not
