The reason I don't hang out on SM much is all of the misinformation. Check out the most recent weight loss and 7M build threads.
According to the weight loss thread, R154's magically die at 500hp/tq. According to the 7M build thread all sorts of parts are needed for 500hp. Both are BS, and I can tell it's information based on anecdotal tales that have been exaggerated as they've been passed through the community...because I heard the original tale.
Once these tales became fact, everyone has jumped on the band wagon and assumed it would happen. When it finally did happen to them at even less power it didn't occur to them that it might be their or the PO's driving skills/lack of maintenance (low oil) or simply having high miles.
