How long they last is all in tune. Just ask puffwagon. I have been running 407rwkw for over 7 years and 480 for 3. I have zero problems except a set of coils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,155 Member For: 16y 9m 14d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 03/07/20 06:06 AM Share Posted 03/07/20 06:06 AM how many km's mate... there's just no point telling people to push 500rwkw with the best tune on the planet on their stock motor and also tell them you can gaurantee it'll last through more than two oil changes... sorry if I'm being a bit more of a realist. Low 400's can last quite a long time compared to 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffwagon Trust me bro...tbh ;) 8===} Gold Donating Members 16,064 Member For: 9y 11m 26d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 03/07/20 07:05 AM Share Posted 03/07/20 07:05 AM 45 minutes ago, arronm said: How long they last is all in tune. Just ask puffwagon. It's not all in the tune but it certainly has to be on point at higher power levels or any level really. There are plenty of variables outside the tune that dictate how long a vehicle will last before a failure occurs. But yerp keefy has a point, 500rwkw on a fairly stock engine is too much. We all know that though so happy days mofos. Fak me 4:30 can be the new 5, I'm getting a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not like your car puts out that power all day, or even almost ever.Although granted in Arron's case it sounds like he drives his cars like a P plater in a Macca's carpark on Saturday night, so the claim might make more sense.I also reckon what the car is doing up to 4000 rpm or so timing/boost-wise is just as important to longevity as whatever the peak power is.

But yes, the BF F6 probably makes 11 in the mid. My BA F6 makes 18 psi by 2750rpm Does that graph looks like it comes on SOFT.....
