Its comprised of all the same overkill components as those developed before it.. We didn't take any risks with the engine design wise, like thin cylinders and etc so the reliability should be the same... But time will tell.

The 450HP is at the flywheel. A turbo would be possible, in fact I am working on one of them now with boost.

Everything I build is always built with reliability in mind, even something like this 4 liter. We could go bigger, but at the loss of structural integrity that could lead to reliability issues.
