Default Built LQ4-Will it handle 20#+?

I have a fully built LQ4 with a GT-91 and ran 20#'s of boost on it this weekend and performed great, does anyone know of people running this block with higher boost? Most mods are in sig

I am not sure but I just watched the whole video and that thing is sick. I noticed that you just shifted when you hit the rev limiter. lol I do the same thing. Hope it isn't too hard on them. Where were you shifting at?

The revlimiter was on 6500 and thought it was 7000

Yeah it wasent intentional, my primary focus was on the arf gauge and normally i catch the shift light out the corner of my eye, but it was daylight outside so it didnt catch my eye as well as it did in the night.... I changed the rev limiter after the second run when i realized it was set at 6500, i thought it was just tacking up real fast with the added boost on the first run..... Thanks! I wanna push it harder in my mind but then again im satisfied & i can prolly get better results outta 20#'s

with the rotating assembly you have i don't see why 20lbs would be a problem. AutomagicLS1 ran 27lbs on his 347 with a GT88.

Wow! 6500 and still running 9.5's. That is amazing! I saw all the cars (race cars) you chased down. I am sure that caught them off guard. Whatever you do, please continue to post your results as you up boost, timing, etc... Cool truck build to follow.
