First of all, use punctuation and separate your thoughts.

Second of all, boost is a measure of restriction not a measure of power. There is no set boost limit but there is a somewhat advisable maximum horsepower the factory motor can consistently handle. If you use your rev limiter as a speedo it won't take much boost to destroy that stock motor or any motor for that matter.

640whp was about the limit for my sbe

611rwhp and it lasted 1500 miles tuned from Mark at CO’s RMCR. Needless to say, it is in better hands now.

SmoothFRC

And since my last reply, I’m now sitting at 14-15 lbs and 647 rwhp.

Still all in the tune, stock heads, Ecs cam, meth for safety.

120k on the car, approaching 100k since I originally put the charger on.

black/silvervette

On my 1999, I'm at 673 rwhp on stock bottom ls1. Adding a 8 rib system with same pulleys and a second nozzle of methonal at the end of the month, but need to fix issues now I believe with spark plugs or vacuum leak. 70k miles now (17k with v-3 supercharger and head/cam etc)

your girl has/had *****? ...well if that's your thing
how good's your tuner? if he sucks, it could very well die driving like that under vacuum.

i made 540h/550t-ish on 10-11psi for about 8yrs & 30k mi with a stock 2000 LS1 long block.
now i'm up to about 13psi on a stock bottom making almost 700h/680t.

500 rwhp running up to 11psi. Only got it finished last year. She runs strong and is holding together but I do not kill all the time. You will need good tires because mine are pretty useless as I spin like crazy....but it's so much fun...
