I run 38psi on a daily basis on E85 and boost has been higher and shifting at 9-9200RPM FAST shifts. I don't baby my car at all when its hammer time thats for sure and Corey can attest to that! I take it out every weekend and do street runs as well if you know what i mean
I don't baby the car but i don't constantly rag it out either! It gets at least 38 psi and ran through the gears a few times on my daily commutes... some more then others depending on where im driving to. I keep the car VERY well maintained to say the least..... I also do all my tuning which i have YEARS of experience at on not only 4g63s but vipers, Fbodys, Fords, Hondas, turbo bikes, nitrous bikes, all motor bikes and the list goes on... I have put 10,000+ miles on my AMS 2.0 at this level with no problems other then regular ARPs stretching enough to lift the head and get some minor blow out in every cylinder on 41psi so i went with the L19s and haven't had the issue since I have to have the trans gone through at least once a year from the fast and high RPM shifts but its worth it My car is TRULY daily driven.. Not a car that i drive a couple times a week or only on the weekends and call it a daily driver. I take it everywhere i go everyday. It goes to show if the car is properly tuned and maintained and not abused just how reliable these cars can be at 700+whp!

Me too! lol. But nothing lasts forever especially when ur pushing it... When i had the head off about 7-800 miles ago the engine looked GREAT! If it blew up tomorrow i couldn't complain really and would just have to build another
I know so many people that cant even get 500 miles out of there engines at this power level.... It really comes down to having an all around well built machine and knowing exactly what ur doing with it. You can blow an engine at 300HP just as fast as an engine making 6-700HP if your not on top of what your doing! Ive seen it happen much to often over the years.... And it can be from bad luck such as a part failure or 100% related to who is behind the engine build and tune "which is usually the case more then bad luck hehe" This is a "game" where anything can happen.... And if your not willing to blow ur engine no matter how much we all think we know then by all means don't push it!!

I made 542 whp/435 wtq on pump gas. Drove it as a daily driver and hit redline daily (8700 rpm).
Unfortunately had the oil pump go on me. It ruined thrust bearings and thrust landing
Its in for a 2.1 bottom end now.
