'Laugh' it up.

I read an article about an engine developement team for GM.
Their big secret for testing a new engine design for durability was:
Step 1) Hang it on the engine dyno
Step 2) Load it up and start flowing the nitrous until some thing breaks!
Step 3) Strengthen that component and go to step 2
I WISH I had that kind of job.
Usually when I do a Test to Failure Analysis (TFA) its because (as a visiting Gemballa tuner once told me) 'The car wasn't ready for the dyno'.
