20k on the street without an oil cooler.

I am sure that if there is an oil cooler in there somewhere it will be fine, if its cold in Japan right now (my phone says 37* in Tokyo), and no road racing.

450 miles in Evo sucks normally. Can't imagine how much she is going to enjoy it being pregnant...

I know aluminum rods are a maintenance item, but I can't imagine off-boost cruising to decrease their life span.

LOL.

I would be MUCH more worried about her shifting the dogbox and wearing the out the gears. That is much more likely to be done in short order anxiety cost a lot more that replacing rods.
