I guess as long as it doesn't hurt your pocket you shouldn't worry about gettin an answer to your dumb question...
By the way we have a 12 sec truck running 10 psi no tune no intercooler NO PROBLEM so I like to think that someone knew what they were doing...
thanx for your concern though...

like i said. people who lack the understanding of engines....forced induction....etc, will usually only get whats coming to them when they try to intall parts they know nothing about.

and bragging that you are running 10psi on no tuning, and no IC, shows that you are the answer to my dumb question.

take it how you want if you think i'm braggin you must be impressed. I was simply informing you that it can and has been done with no problems. There is a tune coming for both trucks and intercoolers are in standby for install... My point is one truck has more than 5 passes at the track no tune no intercooler and had no problems yet the other truck gave up after the first time the owner got on it, by the time it shifted into 2nd it was gone... i understand that 10psi no tune no intercooler will eventually cause problems but not in one time that you get on it for about 2 seconds...

well aparently it did. just because the crack doesnt kill you the first time, doesnt mean it never will.
