I have always struggled with that concept, apart from the fact that they all seemed to expect a race engine at street price. If you try to create a 'street spec' after building race engines you feel like your not doing the job properly..... better to treat them all as race engines and be happy about what you have done than give out a product that you have doubts about some of the components being used in the application. After all, a race motor usually gets looked after fairly well, regular oil changes, valve lash/fuel/ignition checks/good cold start procedures. Some 'street/track day' stuff gets neglected by comparison, cold starts, short runs, extended times on the checks above.
P.S..... 4 weeks!!!....try living half way round the globe, waiting 4 months for a set of custom pistons to arrive, then finding that they did not do the final pin fit to size & having to drive 200 mile round trip to find a shop with good gear to do that, stiil it got me out of the shop for a day
