No. I mean like piston rings, pistons, valves, crank, gaskets, etc.

Hmmm none of those is considered induction... and none of those will make power on their own. Did you mean to say cams? or intake, exhaust, fueling, cooling or tuning?

Interestingly enough, it seems like a supercharger kit would be exactly what someone needs to make more power... if only one existed...

Correct, that's what I said induction and engine. Neither Elate or HKS sell the internals with their kits. To have an engine that lasts more than a year you'd need to change the internals of the engine to be able to handle the increased pressure from the forced induction.

Etc meaning:
1. and the rest; and others; and so forth: used at the end of a list to indicate that other items of the same class or type should be considered or included
2. or the like; or something else similar

Lmao you couldn't even spell out the whole word. I know what et cetera means, but none of your items are related to the ones I mentioned, so it's not really applicable.

This engine wouldn't need internal changes to make 200+ hp for life... Do you have any idea how strong these engines are?

Yep. Valves definitely don't have anything to do with cams.

Is the head gasket strong enough? Piston rings? The compression is already 11.8

Wow you found one thing in common, great job! Now make the rest of your argument make sense.

Yes everything is strong enough for another 200hp. The weakest part of the drivetrain is fuel, internals would only be done if you wanted to make over 800hp

There are plenty of boosted UR engines to look at, I suggest you start.

Going to ask one more time, then start asking people to exit thread.

No issue disagreeing and debating but do so respectfully or do not post.
