Default Stock ls6 MAP on 15 psi of boost
Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone has had a problem leaving the stock Ls6 intake MAP in while under boost. i Know its a little loose but just curious if that stock seal will hold the boost

my MAP did fine with 15+ psi. It only popped out when the LS6 manifold itself blew up LOL

If you were spraying meth I would guess valve float. It would probably have been quite similar to a nitrous backfire, as you would have had a fuel/air mix in the intake.

Questions like this are why Formula 1 teams have multi million dollar per year budgets. The rest of us just have to try **** and see if it breaks on a much slower pace.
