Now if its 17psi for racing and dd on 6-10psi ive seen them last very long being bone stock

Yeah, bone stock. When you clearance, and torque things correctly, its amazing what happens. It works.

I have been on 15-17psi for about 4 years before the motor ate a couple rod bearings. This motor was on the vafc hack for a while too (no timing correction). All on a self tune.

I don't know if the poster was referring to me, but I did not really baby the car, but I didn't drive it hard without reason.

There are plenty of other stock ls motors that have run 10-11 second range....although usually in a light chassis as well.

If you are the guy with the (used to be white eg) boosted, then yeah i'm talking bout you.
but my best friend just finished piecing up his gsr together, stock it was tune by ruiz(i think thats the tuner's name) out in miami. he's got a good reputation when it comes to tuning.
instead of CFT
