I don't drive my car hard at all, with only the occasional full WOT maybe once a week if that! Do you think driving it normally will have any ill effects?? Or is it only when you really give it a go?

I really don't drive it hard, I probably take it to 4500+rpm once or twice a week if I'm lucky! and usually that's only a quick squirt then I back off. Most of my driving is kept under 3000rpm and I don't stomp on the go pedal all that often.. can't afford to lose my licence Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66619-atomic-motors-merged-topic/page/10/#findComment-453139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
