I also have stock head bolts and have been running big boost on alky, race gas, and e-85 since November of 2005 on what is a daily driver. That's another thing that doesn't fail but people are scared into upgrading them. Another would be ignition - I have stock ignition with 8-series plugs.

I'm sorry to say, but Buschur Racing is NOT the rest of the world. He is of one school of thought. While this may be the school of thought you like, it is not the only correct one. Most builders and REAL tuners (Ben Strader) will recommend a properly built fuel system. They too make big power cars. The rest of the world also includes AMS, DTM, Norris Designs, HKS (who is the authority on all things Evo since the Evo 1), RRE, etc, etc......
I previously discussed the fuel rail issue here:
trying to go E85
People scared to run 8 series plugs??????? I don't think so. I just saw 5 guys doing the same thing under the same conditions on both VIII's and XI's. A couple of those guys didn't even realize they weren't stock on their car until I pointed it out. I was doing that fully stock since 04. If you were truly ballsy, try 9's on for size. Sounds stupid, doesn't it? That's because it is. Your other examples are one school of thought. While it can be done, it doesn't mean it's advisable especially if you're trying to push your car the limit.
