After hearing a 400 and many 340s whine and hum, the big 485 has been silent thus far.

No UOA, my first oil change was at maybe 2000 miles. I ran most of the oil and filter load through a paper filter, no metal, no sheen, so that's a great sign. Next oil change in about a month will be going to blackstone for sure. I wanted to do the home test as a knee-jerk reaction to a friends boosted 350 having crazy amounts of metal when ran through a paper towel.
Sweet. Keep us posted. It'll be good to see what's going on inside that motor. A clean UOA will go a long way to make people more comfortable at that power level. Hell, I get a UOA every oil change since I boosted the car.
