Stock Bottom & Boost - Reliability List
Somehow I got missed, and seems as though I made the most so far on this list.
I made 706/626 on pump gas/methanol and 14 psi from twin t70 turbos.Based on the MPH,RPM it had 30% converter slip on the dyno. These numbers made through a th400 with a 4000 converter and a 8.8 diff.
Still runs strong so far its been 9.51@147 in a 3200lb fox body mustang.

Maggie 122
10psi, 507rwhp
Mile at time of Install -59k
Miles since install - 65k
Broken - N
Standard bottom end is still running great and bores looked good when we installed Patriot LQ9 heads. It's ran 10.9@130mph too so it's no slouch.

10 psi
520
stock longblock exhaust everything
installed before i bought it so before 32,000 put 25,000 miles on it and 3 years before getting a bad batch of gas and melting thru #7 side skirt. i suppose it was just a matter of time tho

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 (ie: current mileage)
- IF you broke the motor, list what was broken.
TurboCharger : STS
Boost Amount: ~8.x psi
RWHP: 467 RWTQ=482
Miles on car when FI Installed: 34k
Miles Ran since FI installed: 40k
NOT BROKEN

going for 12psi this weekend
stock ls2 with arp bolts only.
Previous motor ls1 stock with 317 heads
8psi 505rwhp 535rwtq
sold it, still pulling hard in another SS.

I made 753 rwhp through an 4l80e on my stock shortblock car. It has a cam, valvesprings, pushrods, and unported 6.0l heads as the only mod's. Car went a best of 6.41 at 110 on the first track attempt at a lower boost level.

stock 5.3 183k + miles , straight out of junk yard , 26psi out of t4 76mm turbo, runs strong, oil looks good has made about 75 + 1/4 mile runs and i damaged a lifter during lsx this year. according to the weight / 1/4 mile time it made about 625hp. i think the 6600 rev limiter is what tanked the stock lifters.

2005 GTO Six Speed
Stock LS2 33K miles springs only Made 749 RWH at 5400 with a S372 @15PSI
lasted about one year then cam bolts loosened up and bent the valves
Then installed a stock 03 LQ9 with 98K miles on it, springs only taken from my LS2
This engine ran 11.50 in a silverado SS just prior to installing it in my GTO
made 825RWH at 5400 RPM S374 19lbs of boost on 110 race gas.
that was two years ago, now just breaking main shafts in my T-56
Installing a Built 4L80E next

I'm running 19* timing on E85 and curious to know how much timing you three are also running? how much total timing?
How much timing?

My car ended up going 5.96 at 118 and 9.30 at 147 on 13.5 psi and 17* of timing up top on e85. The car made almost 800 rwhp on 15 psi.
