Pretty typical.
They focused all the money on going faster, and not anything at all on making sure that the higher performance would actually last.
Happens all the time.
Get a new radiator, get new hoses, get a higher flow water pump, etc.
Think of it this way. Think about a guy who goes to the gym, and only increases the size of his biceps.
Sure, it looks impressive. Until his wrist tendons snap from over-exertion, because he didn't focus on anything else.
And now his impressive bicep-ed arms are in a cast, and he looks like an idiot.
Same thing.
Expect the engine to blow within a month.
