Specifically speaking? Drag racing. I’m sure you could turbo or roots or spray a car that sees the track once or twice a year and it will live a long time. Beating on a car at race after race and WFO and 7,500+ rpm will kill all components over time. The higher the power, the shorter the time. Sonny’s big hemi? 40-50 passes. Bonneville in the 60’s was to hot rodding like wars were to medicine. They poured nitro into 3 cap main, Ford V8’s and Chrysler hemi’s. They would crack the blocks and the cranks looking to go a few miles an hour faster than the other dude. They lived about 15 miles! The higher the hp. , the more maintenance and R&R V8’s require. Regardless of make, billet this or that. Hauling a$$ has always took priority over longevity. The top guys in the sport only need it to live for about a minute. For us NHRA sportsman and bracket guys, longevity is key. Doing big burnouts and big wheelies and launching against the converter every time the thing runs will definitely take its toll. On ANYTHING! Work on the car and turn it down a few notches. It’ll last a lot longer.
