I was under 6000 when it blew, just bad luck with me. We were doing my street tune and were datalogging it the entire time. No signs of detonation just flate out bad luck and to much power. I think 500 is the limit for power and thing higher is a huge risk. I had 545rwhp

I am curious to know the amount of boost you guys that blew you engines were running... 11psi+?

10lbs pulley that made 9.5psi I watched a guy blow his motor with a roush blower making 415rwhp at the dealership lol thats bad luck but luckly for him every thing was covered. For mine yeah no dice...

But the best thing about being in the blown motor club is that most of us are also memebers of the 5.0 Stroker club as well

12psi ,500rwhp ,425rwtq ,and auto trans. +35deg. temp so maybe 13 or 14 psi at kaboom! A perfect example of pushing things to far .

From my research, it is to get as much HP as you can with no more than 10lbs of boots... It isn't the HP that blows it, it's the boost level that does...

What kind of research? Have you been testing stock blocks with various boost levels?
I have been on 11 PSI for two years. My boost gauge hits 13 PSI easily on a cool day.

Just a gathered pool of everyones blown engines story. Nothing scientific so chill out... Glad you haven't blown it, but I can't say I don't want it to now so I can say, "Told ya so..."

zkiller

Sorry when I hear research, I take it as "real" research.
Maybe mine will blow when I put on the 12 pound pulley next week. I bet it doesnt though!

Boozshey

Well then I will hold my tongue until next week...
