Question for PES or EVO

This question was brought up and I wondered what you guys thought?

>>>>>>>>
Buddy. Are you really going to run the full 700 HP on road courses? I'd be very hesitant to do that. If you are running anywhere near even 9/10, I don't think the engine will last without internal mods. My guess is you are looking at < 20 hours of track time per rebuild with a 700 HP engine and no internal mods.

IMO, the higher HP mods (without internal mods) are really intended more for street and strip, not for road courses. That is, unless you have a very large racing budget; but if you have that kind of budget, why not do the internal mods while you are at it... to spare yourself the broken pieces that can be much more costly to fix down the road.

Can I run the 700hp on the track or do you have the ability to program say a 600 hp track setting and then go to 700 for the street? Is the key fob option ready yet?

Thanks
