Who has pushed the stock motor on the stock head gasket? Im looking at pushing it on some 116 for weekend purposes. I'm wondering besides the one MASE has done, who else has actually ran alot of boost and made good power on a BONE STOCK motor?

 

I ran 23psi on a stock motor.... for about 5 secs.

3 months later I fitted a newly rebuilt motor and 3mm head gasket.

 

Was that on pump gas and then the motor popped from like a boost spike or what?

 

Bone stock motor.. I have run 17psi, falls to 14/15psi at redline, with spikes of 22psi on c16 for a couple hundred miles of hard driving now with no problems.. Ran 10psi on 93oct for 5k without any issues as well. Its all in the tune but we'll see how long she holds together.

 

12psi Stock engine and Stock HG, Now 14psi......

Need new Tune!

 

Thanks guy's, im looking for 500ish on C16

 

I've gone as high as ~14psi on stock motor by accident

 

we have several completely stock motors with HG in the 450-500 hp range on pump gas - no problems......

 

IS it just more the PSI? for example my Turbo is tiny so 10PSI is a lot less air then lets say.........a bigger turbo

 

yes it's more than psi..turbo sizing, manifold design, etc etc

joey this is a GREAT read.. i learned a lot reading it recently..
