Default Stock ls6 MAP on 15 psi of boost

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone has had a problem leaving the stock Ls6 intake MAP in while under boost. i Know its a little loose but just curious if that stock seal will hold the boost

If you were spraying meth I would guess valve float. It would probably have been quite similar to a nitrous backfire, as you would have had a fuel/air mix in the intake.
