Would you rather be monitoring oil pressure, etc while driving around sanely so you will actually notice when something starts going awry, catch it, shut it down, then figure out and fix your issue?
Or would you rather realize your oil pump is weak doing an 8k rpm 1-4 pull and lose oil pressure most likely causing damage beyond what you could "easily" repair?
