Had mine on the stock bottom for 10k miles before going with more boost and deciding to do a forged bottom end along with it. Original setup was perfectly fine with no issues whatsoever at 10# boost before I had it taken apart.

711whp here for about a year now. 3k miles roughly but around 600wheel for 2 years before that so 3 years boosted total and 11k miles roughly.

Stock bottom end, cam and meth.

started my turbo build March this year and made 515whp/515ftlbs at 12psi stock LS1. Later change out the fuel pump, Hotwire fuel pump and upgrade a few little things. retune on the street so no new number. But since the build being done in March to now. I have put on about 25k KM. Motor has about 214k KM on it.

I ran my car at 10psi and 600/600 for 50K and had no problems hammering on it daily.
It's all in the tune.

Mine is a boosted forged LS6 the motor has about 13,000 miles on it.

I just changed the oil (Using Amsoil) for the amount of pounding I give it, I was expecting a lot of abnormal metal particles on the end of the magnetic drain plug. To my surprise, it was minimal normal. It must be the oil and tune together.
