165k on mine. The engine is the only stock part left in the car.

My rev limiter is set at 6250 and I think I kiss it every time I drive it. I drive the living hell out of it just waiting for the motor to pop but I just can't seem to kill it. I can't bear to pull it while its running so good so it will probably stay till it gives up.
If it ever does. I mean really I BEAT on this motor.

141k over here. Had to rebuild the tranny 5k miles (only went with stock rebuild +shift kit and cooler due to low funds wish i would had more to put into it). She was only bolt ons until last week when i threw the cc503 in her. Shes runnin real strong just needs a tune. Makes me a little nervous with the high mileage bottom end, but she'll eventually be a forged 355. Just hopin she lasts til i have the money for it.

the increase in power is due to the rings being worn, thus creating less friction between the cylinder walls. this is always a good thing for performance
