But thats silly to say. A stock Z engine can probably handle 20 pounds of boost for a while then Boom like what happen here. Its cool people are trying new things but this seemed silly. IDK.

it's not silly at all dude, lots of people raise their redlines a little over stock when tuning. if it's tuned right, it should work fine. it definitely looks like oil starvation played a role in this problem, not completely the higher rpms (though that was part of it)
Valentino likes this.
