I WOT multiple times a day with TPS C % at 100% multiple times per drive. I have plenty of datalogs of it too since I'm always gathering data as I add and switch parts.

How many miles are you at? I’m scared to go to even go to ethanol kit because of how much torque it puts on the cvt. Really want to but I have heard of others also throwing rods on FK7’s.

I’m not quite sure what you’re asking but I think the answer is yes, the rods are weaker on the FK7 sadly. I really just wanna save up and buy a built motor for like 4-5 grand.

I hear the blinker fluid leaks out a lot too and the flux capacitor burns up within a year. At least it's all under warranty.
