well il tell you how hard it was driven egt probe was in my downpipe and saw 1000c dozens of times never batted an eyelid, 100 + runs of over 170 mph. thats how nms do there engines, my engine was built by an ex nms employee and was as reliable as they come. and it also had a turkish 200 block in it. ive seen if first hand if there built properly they are reliable no matter how hard they are used.
