107,000 boosted miles comes to an end! My daily driver Silverado SS finally gave up! 107,000 on the clock and the engine was installed at 27 miles when the truck was new. The factory lifters were re installed with only the drainback mod and a new Comp Cam with restricted 5/16 pushrods. The engine got a bit noisy coming home from Kentucky a few weeks back and finally the lifter let go when my guys were chasing parts.....

How much boost were you running for that long? You certainly can't complain about that! Trending Topics

It ran different power levels throught its life with most of its time spent between 12-15 psi which would produce 7-800 flywheel hp. I had a valet switch on it that cut the boost to 5psi that I used when I towed my trailer or valet parked it. I would see 20psi once in awhile for fun on the streets and a couple times on Power Tour. It ran 11.4X on 19 psi at 5500 pounds at a Silverado SS meet here in Michigan around 2006-2007 I think, the engine was installed in 2002.

Ouch! Same thing happened in a friend of mine's Magancharged truck awhile back. On the bright side, Im sure youve got a hookup or two in the engine building business, lol.
