Buddy has his 14 pro up for sale, was considering buying it, he has the high end kit from 14 with tial exhaust, wide band, pyros, ran 10psi up top, with 50/50 c12 mixed with 91. 400 miles on it. Price is right but wondering life expectancy before any major motor or clutch work needed?

I always say when in doubt check it out!! Good gasket set and rings cheap insurance + you can check bottom end

Good point pulling head at min to see if Pistons scuffed or showing detonation likely a good idea. Been debating this sled or a 15 T3, I know they are bullet proof but my last 5 years of riding have been on boost, I think tough to go back to NA machine.

on the cat you can just pull the exhaust valves and look at the front and top of the piston easy. also you can see the back half of the jug well and no gaskets needed. don't know if you can do the same on the poo? .o2

400 miles isn't anything. My '14 Pro (owned by a friend now) currently has 2500 miles and there are two other '13 Pro's that were over 3,000 miles before we sold them. All had the BD Tial 2860 Kit. Top ends changed at 2,000 miles. We run 50/50 Av and 91 non eth from 7k-11k.
