Why don't people utilize S58 more often?

I have seen S58 easily reach 1000hp without opening the bottom end. YOu can get an S58 for 6k and enough parts for 1000hp for under 10k. Is it unreliable or something? Am I missing a piece of the puzzle? If not, I'm planning on getting a S58 and putting parts into it to reach 1000hp

I can't speak for everyone else but getting to 1000hp isn't important enough to drop 16k to replace a perfectly good engine. That kind of money will buy lots of B58 goodies😁

Why? Do you find you need this much HP at HPDE's or are you looking for bragging rights over how much $$ You're willing to dump into a car?

If you're going to drop 16k on an engine you may as well get a G8x.

These cars are all interconnected by electronic modules with parameters for the specific engine.

What makes you even think that a S58 will just drop in a F Series vehicle and work properly 💀
