Thoughts on longevity with top quality oil?
As long as the tune was done right, and you always use a top tier type of premium fuel, you should be fine.
It's cool that they kept it all 50 state legal with the JBA shorties, (they kept the stock catcons, or used direct fit, bolt in aftermarket catcons I assume??) even though it would have gotten a little more with long tubes.
If you ever decide to pulley it up to a higher boost level, I would think about a water/methanol injection system (but even then, I would not go any higher than ~12 psi or so), unless you build the bottom end and lower the stock compression ratio.
The Pedders suspension pieces are COOL!! It probably sounds like a BEAST with those XR1s on there!
This setup looks to be the perfect candidate for the 'CATERHAM mix', i.e.; 50/50 Mobil 1 0W-30 AFE and M1 0W-40.
