To answer your question correctly: Yes more HP puts more stress on the motor. When tuned correctly the motor is just as reliable as when it left the factory floor. Also if you run the designated octane per the tune requirements you won't have any issues. The M42/M44 engines are bullet proof and unless your not keeping up with regular maintenance the rest of the car will fall apart before that engine does. All the best JCA
