If your car is tuned properly, then you shouldn't have a problem on pumpgas even at 17psi. I made 700 on 19psi on pump, but Tim at MPH recommended to run some torco with it to be safe. My A/F is very conservative as is timing.

this.


the mileage of that engine has nothing to do with it. it was all tune and/or lack of fuel.


i know a couple guys making that kind of power out of a V6 with over 100k on stock internals (cast pistons. 6g72) without a problem.

sorry that it happened but you live and learn. good luck on the next build.
