I agree, every motor and everyone is beatable! It just depends on how hard you are willing to work at it. Unless you just have a huge pile of money to spend or a good sponsor, which i've never had. lol. Someone will always be the target and they will eventually will get beat.

Back to topic, we broke a Midwest super cub billet crank in one of our Kohlers. The entire rotating assembly was balanced and was very smooth, and with under 10 races on it. Sometimes it's just a bad batch of materials or a flaw in the hardening process making them too brittle. Some people run stock cranks for years and never break one. Never know in what we are doing.

I have beat Chuck and so has others, Ryan has been beat too, I will do it also and anyone else on any given day!! They only stay big and bad for a lil while no one or no motor dominates for long. We just dig a bit deeper, and these other motors have more in them just sit back and wait for it AND Brian thats my 4 cents.
You are easy to get tore up over those tescomsees or how ever you spell it. Is that why they call them indians? Easier to spell? Lol. I will draw a smiley face on a balloon and he may listen to ya! Rofl!

You are a fun to mess with!!  :P

THEY ONLY PUT OUT 20-40 PSI. NEVER SEEN AN INTEK PUT OUT MORE.
my oil pressure on my intek never goes below 25psi and gets as high  as 65psi

You can safely run as low as 10-15. They don't need a lot of oil pressure, and too much can be a bad thing

I would take high volume over high pressure any day.

But there is not high volume pumps for these things therefore I would like to keep my pressure to ensure the oil is getting where it needs to be and staying there
