I have nothing to add to this thread....





Just keep raising the boost till it blows up then you'll know how high you can go.

Search works fine in Firefox. I don't know why they won't get the stupid bugs fixed in IE.
As stated above. there are a LOT of factors that determine your boost. Do you have a 327 Gen 1 engine or a 5.3 (325) Gen III? Do you want your 4l60e to blow up as soon as you get in the throttle the first time?
Street driven? Reliable?
Stock engine? Cam size? Truck weight? Gears? Heads? Turbo or Super?


It's much easier to tell us What you want to do and what your willing to install to get there.
With a question of how much is Possible. Well, stock 7 +- depending on how heavy the truck is, Build it up and you can see into the mid 20's or more.

Well it just depends. Some motors like more boost than others. A lot of it has to do with tuning. I've heard of forged motors poppin with 8-11psi and then there is a little 4.8 from a former member that is pushin 18psi. So in short...CRANK IT UP PHUCKER!!!!!
