Look at every DSM dyno day. Half the cars don't make it, and the ones that do make it run like shit (my DSM included). I daily drove my 3S for 4 years (90,000 miles) at BPU levels, with no major issues and no tuning what so ever I'm betting there are very few DSMs with the same horse power that can match that.
I don't know, I drove my car for years at the ~340 whp level on pump, 391 whp on C16 with nary a problem. And I even put about 150 passes on that setup at the strip. DSM's are pretty reliable if it's put together right.

I miss the days when 4 out of the 6 cars in the 12.0-12.5 class were either DSM's or 3S's at RF. Even Curt was out racing between applying coats of wax between rounds.
