Default Discussing "PSI" should be a ban'able offense...

I hate when a newbie asks a question about how much PSI a certain motor can handle, while omitting necessary details(Turbo size, engine combo, fuel, etc).

You would think someone would just chime in and say "Hey what's the specifics on the setup?"

But instead, this is how it always ends up:

Question: "Hey, how much boost can my stock LS1 handle on pump gas????lolz"

Answer #1: "10!!!!!!!!!!"

Answer #2: "NO IF U RUN MORE THAN 8 PSIz ON A STOCK ENGINE IT WILL BLOW UPlolomg"

Answer #3: "My buddy's uncle's nephew ran 14 PSI once"

Answer #4: *Random Cobra guy commenting on the 4.6 handling more boost from the factory*

Answer #5: (Me)
