[s-cars] An EM upgrade question/poll

[Dave Forgie]

S-gruppees: The recent post about the cracked Stock EM leads me to ask
the question:  How many people have successfully gone beyond Stage 1
(say 280 hp chip upgrade) to say 300 hp and above without changing the
Stock EM and have not have problems with a) cracked stock EM,  b) burnt
valves (say No. 1 and No. 5), c) cracked valves seats/head or d) all of
the above?  Being cautiously  paranoid, I would always upgrade the EM to
RS2 or Ned's improved RS2 clone before adding serious HP (> 280 say).
For the same reason, I will always add more brakes before adding more
HP. (to prevent the "OSS", i.e. the Oh, Sh*t!! syndrome that occurs when
you have too much HP and overdrive the brakes.

So what say ye?  EM upgrade or live dangerously?
