To me, this is an interesting point. I am certainly not as technically knowledgable as either you Megator or F87source.

I am thinking in this way and would love both your thoughts. Presuming that overall failure rate with SCH is low (low single digits as %?) and a subset with catastrophic failure at less than half (is that fair?), the exposure seems to be that if I have a SCH, it will more likely results in limp mode.

For clarity, engine is not currently modified at all, save for mid-pipe and rear section. If I do modify, I will not exceed stage 1 levels so under 500BHP. As I understand, these levels and lower are "safer" although not "safe".

Seems like risk is pretty low to me.

Thoughts?
