Who's running 10lbs of boost on a stock block?
Who out there is running 10lbs of boost on a stock block?
I'm at altitude pushing 10lbs, so I'm a little different, but i wanted to see if anyone at sea level was doing this and if the motor blew or not.
Has anyone heard of any problems running at 10lbs of boost?
I'm curious because since I'm at altitude my air density is different then all you in lower elevations. My turbos have to spool 10lbs to equal what a 8lb boost level at sea level would achieve.
I guess what I'm really getting after here is, if i run 10lbs of boost at altitude will i blow my motor with great UTEC tune?
My numbers 450 SAE Corrected, 370 Uncorrected whp.

I've run 10 to 10.5 on my Vortech BUT that is much more linier...
I would say you are pushing it on an APS at 10psi and 450 rwhp. be very careful... you wont "feel" anything until it goes "boom"
