S55 is IMO in fact a pretty (impressively) stout motor such that only concerns for people running 600hp+ are SCH, cooling, and accelerated component/part wears. I think it falls in the same, classic 'pay to play category' like overclocking a CPU that voids warranty simply because manufacturer can only predict it's lifespan when it was operated within their design expectation. It might work long time and well, or it might fail on the next day depending on how it is treated.
I respect everyone's different choice. It's just that for some of us that potential SCH is still expensive and a headache, still want to keep warranty, want to keep the car longer, or simply fine with factory power level driving at track.
