I'm NOT asking this as a "how to" but how does someone create catastrophic failure in our stock engine? I'm not trying to blow mine up, I'm just trying to figure out the weak areas to maybe avoid this if its even possible to cause purposefully.

If your supercharged the rods are the weaker link on the engine.

Don't be lumping the SB's with the DTR'S.

Pretty sure there are a couple of each color here in Florida that would having you chasing their taillights.

beating on it before it's up to temp.
Using the wrong specified oil thinking you are smarter than the people who designed the motor.

Cylinders 7 and 8 are most prone to failure because of poor coolant circulation in that area. There is a mod for this.

6400 on the road course did it for me.
