I guess that's kind of what I was trying to say. If it's built right, there shouldn't be a problem

As far as the specific example (the honda), you and Shane are right, it's gonna blow. But that's obviously a setup that doesn't need steady state tuning...cause if it's that close to the brink, it's either a drag only car, or a dyno queen.

So I guess when Shane said "It's not like you are going to be doing steady state loaded tuning at 8500RPMs at on a Honda running 30psi either", we probably could have just said..."you're right", but it's the insinuation that we don't know what we're talking about that I was more intentioned on addressing.

It seems like Shane was trying to make us look dumb for buying a dyno that we'll never grow out of, and in the process implying that we don't know what we're doing.

The fact is, there are some high hp fwd cars out there that are daily drivers, road racers and autocrossers. All three types are best tuned for more than WOT.
