Great post there Sameel. Thanks for the technical details, now I understand how *exactly* generating greater power out of the engine will reduce it's life.
But the part I am not sure is, by how much is the life of the engine shortened? And I don't think it gets "FRIED", that term generally is used to refer to catastrophic failures, right?
My Elantra(with Petes box) has run around 75K now, and it mostly sees gear changes at the red line. I don't think it is in the mood to cross over to the other side, yet. And I just got the fuel pumps, pressures etc checked, just to make sure there is no trouble. And if the pressures do drop or the pump dies, I would not complain too much, for all the good work it has done, it deserves a place in my "show case".
OR maybe, the engine and pump etc are "rated" to work a bit extra, just that it is not done in the factory tune for purposes of fuel economy, or maybe to meet emission norms? Do you think that could be the case?

The only things which go "NUTS" are other cars around you, and the driver(me, that is.)
