Default 680hp on the old 5.3

Yeah, we accidently turned the boost up instead of down and hit 25psi, during the 3 bar tuning. It was ok after that, as Rick (at synergy) tuned more at 18 psi, the motor let go. It (DOD) Died on Dyno. I guess I know how far I can push it now. I think I will try to build a forged 5.7 out of it. I will be pulling the motor apart this weekend to see what let go. Dam, that was a strong motor.
