"10 seconds on, 30 seconds off" "10 on, 10 off"

Nope I'll pass.
Its almost as if they are unaware that different parts of the engine heat up faster than other parts.

My low speed is about 6 volts.
Well, I'm pulling over a 1000hp at the wheels out of a 4.6L motor and nothing has gone wrong yet. It gets used a LOT harder than any drag car does. A 20min roadrace session is about 120 drag passes. When I drive the car at the track I do about 5-6 session like that a day. And the last time I went to the track I drove it there and back, 3hrs each way.

If I'm not breaking stuff, you guys won't.
