Default 2005 and newer LQ4's boost limits???
After seeing some 5.3 and 4.8 live with 18-22 psi of boost, what can a stock LQ4 be run up to using 93 and 50/50 water-meth? (more than once)

I don't think anyone has broken one with a good tune. Its either user error, or gets replaced with a built engine before it breaks.

I wouldn't reccomend 50/50, use straight meth.

I run 1 gallon of Sunoco M1? to one gallon of -20WWF right now.. It works for keeping my injectors under 100% right now.
