Stock Bottom & Boost - Reliability List
#301
03 lm7 stock short block, epp blower cam, 243 heads, arp head studs, ls9 head gaskets, MP t76 front mount. ??? rwhp (guessing around 700 ish), 4months on 12psi, 5 months on 16psi, ran its *** off untill i changed exhaust from full exhuast out the back into my borla cat back to a fender dump, not sure if boost spiked or just to much flow for stock fuel rails but detonated 3 and 4 cylinder as soon as it was about to hit 6200rpms, i feel safe in saying if i had proper fuel system it would still be driving to this day

Glide with ptc 9.5 billet converter,pro brake. 8.8 with 3.55 gears. Mickey 275-60 pro radials. Car weighs 3370 with me. Went 10.08 at 137mph not hooking at 18 psi boost and 18 degrees of timing shifting at 7100rpm. Never been on dyno but figure 650-700 wheel horse power.

Turbo lq4 broke three pistons in 24 hours with bad timing and vacum ran incorrect i was only seeing 3 lbs boost felt like it was running great. Timing a boosted engine is super critical so i agree with make shure you know that timing is good. for me it was very deceiving.

I had a Whipple side mount on my 2000 5.3 ECSB from 60k miles to 145k miles making between 6 and 13 psi - different pullies - and from 320rwhp to 440 rwhp. Then I switched over to a MP122 at 145k miles. 14psi from the Maggie makes 525rwhp on a very conservative tune. Engine has just over 150k now.
Motor has never broken *knocks on wood* but I did break an output shaft once.
I don't beat on mine too hard though....

Last summer, stock LS3 w. Paxton Novi 2200 and 8psi of boost, E85 fuel. 730fwhp. Bit of boost control issues and boost raised to 10psi after that came head gasket failure, took engine apart and found also slight bent on 2 connection rods.
At then repaired fastly with stock parts pistons / rods and kept boost in 8psi with no problems.
Now running forged motor.

10-11psi
571rwhp
Installed around 40k, currently at 42600
Supporting transmission and rear end mods but nothing else on the motor.
No track passes, but occasional spirited driving. Everything has held up great, as usual.

I ran a 9.6@145 but I'm about 600lbs heavier. Have no idea what horsepower it makes since it hasn't been on a dyno but your setup at least gives me a rough idea.
Stock LM7 5.3 block I've been beating on for about a year. First with a 76mm now with an 88 and it shows no signs of giving up, just keeps getting faster.
- On3 88mm
- 20+ PSI/Haven't dyno'd just street/track tuned
- ~150k miles
- 5k+
- Nothing broken except differentials!
