Heck, that's easy! It doesn't! Well, it does, but you can't expect the engine
to last 100k miles. Or even 50k miles. Another option, a NoS system? I remember
a former listee, Bob Alexander claimed he had NoS in his 85. It made 150 hp, he
said. He never proved it. I don't think the engine will long with this either!
