- D1SC
- 10 psi / 540 rwhp/490 rwtq
- Miles on the car when FI installed - 29,500
- Miles ran since FI has been on the car - 3500
- Motor Blown - puffing LOTs of air out the oil filler.

Here are my results, I ran the **** out of it.
- Type of Forced Induction (Turbo/Supercharger) = Turbo 76MM on center
- Boost Amount / RWHP = 16-17# 580+ rwhp
- Miles on the car when FI installed = Unknown
- Miles ran since FI has been on the car = 10,000
- IF you broke the motor, list what was broken. = Ringlands 2 Pistons
- Type of Forced Induction (Turbo/Supercharger) = Turbo 76MM on center
- Boost Amount / RWHP = 16-17# 580+ rwhp
- Miles on the car when FI installed = Unknown
- Miles ran since FI has been on the car = 10,000

Yep, the car was dyno tuned and was about 12.0 AFR iirc. Pump 93 octane at the time. I have a suspicion that my failure may have been caused by possibly water getting into the engine thru the mecham hood and in thru the bypass valve on my old setup the heat extractor on the hood funneled water right onto the race BPV when i would get caught driving in the rain...
505rwhp/536rwtq on 93octane
12k miles, stock bottom
8psi *with spiking to 10psi back to 8psi within a sec*
rich tune 10.5
I have an E85 tune I run every now and then and bump up some timing...don't know hp/tq numbers on e85 safe to say over 550rwhp.

I was bored, so incase anybody needed it, I re-arranged it so you can go by kit (alphabetical), boost within kit, and if they broken at the end of their respective kit list:
I am wanting to make a comparative list of how long the LS1 stock bottom end has lasted under boost and eventually make it a sticky. Generally I see everyone say 550rwhp, I just want to see how valid this statement roughly is.
So the people I want to reply in the thread are ones who have ran boost on a stock bottom end (pistons, rings, rods). Even if you broke something in the motor, still post up. Post only cars you own(ed).
Here is the format I'd like to see it in:
- Type of Forced Induction (Turbo/Supercharger)
- Boost Amount / RWHP
- Miles on the car when FI installed
- Miles ran since FI has been on the car
- IF you broke the motor, list what was broken.

- Incon Twin Turbo
- 6-10psi (EBC) / 425@6psi
- approx 25k
- approx 60k (85k)
- nothing broken so far but the clutch is due to be replaced. tune is FAT!
I drive it all over the country and so far it'all good.

p1sc 7.5 lbs put on at 52k miles now at 107 k miles 450 rwhp originally next snow meth, zo6 cam, z06 valve springs, 8 rib, no dyno numbers yet but lost the rear and with z06 cam ran hard. Have 317 heads ported waiting till new motor goes in.
Reposting 
BTW - This is one of the most useful threads I've seen in a while - thanks for starting it! If I had a better understanding of the limits of a stock block I probably would have lowered the timing a bit to reach "safe" hp levels.
