and these were experienced race car guys, not weekend idiots or young punks...??

Way too many variables, way too little info here for you to use this as some sort of reasonable point.

Plenty of them go down the track, weekend after weekend, and same cars down the street during the week, without any sort of frequent rebuild.

You've got about as much logic there as mr 1UZ heads flow awesome, oh they dont flow as much as unported truck heads, well hey they still flow a hair more than 97-98 LS1 heads, so they automatically are better than all things "LS1"
