Yes, completely stock Longblock...all I did was bolt on the turbo kit, test pipes, exhaust, clutch and flywheel, got it tuned and that's how it currently sits.
RPMs on the launch are around 6000. The reason you can't really hear them is because my exhaust is so quiet.

It's been running like this for over a year and a half and 13K+ miles. Honestly I think the VQ's reliability with boost is all tuning based. You hardly EVER hear about boosted guys popping motors anymore and we have more boosted cars then ever on here.
GRD Tuned my car...Tuan really know's what he's doing.

Ok i'm trying to improve my launches here, but i dont understand...you launch so high? Wouldn't you bounce of the rev limiter after maybe half a second if you launch so aggresively then half to shift almost right away? I've heard of people launching high at maybe...4500 or 5500 rpm before but never in the 6000's.
Sorry for the noob question and slight hijack but i've seen the 60's you pull of and was curious

The rpms drop to around 5000 and then climb back up once the car gets out of the hole.

not sure what your experiance is running just n/a but is this something that you tried when you didn't have this much power or were you more conservative?
Btw...we need a Z like this where i run in S.D., Z's are rare where i run and the ones that show up besides myself are always first time noobs that run ****y times and i never see again.Its awesome to see Z's like this actually exist

Tuned by the same shop, stock REV limiter and the same psi as Brian. Sometimes I guess, the rods just let go.
