No worries!!

The majority of our highways are 65-70 MPH. In most stock Boxster's with stock size tires, this means 2800-3000 is 65-75mph.

As you speed up and slow down between 2800-3000 it kicks in and out. Unless you set the cruise control at 3100. *most* drivers are pedaling the car between 2800-3000 rpm constantly loading and unloading the chain from the IMSB and passenger side cams.

Each and every failure, I speak with the owner and ask them about their driving habits. I don't say anything about what I think, I ask them about their commute to work and weekend habits.

What "I've" found.. the people who haul ass with little to no traffic have a lot less problems than those who "cruise" the legal speed limit and sit in a lot of traffic every morning and evening while commuting.

We have disassembled a LOT of failed engines, and built a LOT of engines. Some are raced, some are in commuter cars.

It's just my opinion If others choose not to believe it? so be it. No loss on my part. I know how I drive them, and I know what I say to my customers about their driving habits.
