Who tuned it? I hope it's not a stock motor making 15 lbs... 12 lbs is as much as anyone will ever want to go with a perfect tune and I'd only trust a handful of guys to write a perfect tune.

PSI in houston tuned it. the motor is stock. he was told by some people not to run it that high. the pic has the pulley they said to run a safe about of boost. it was the largest pulley they had. we put a pulley on it about 1 inch smaller.

Your friend is on the ragged edge there at 509 RWHP regardless of boost PSI.
I hope he is using high grade fuel.

That's great , but 509 is about 49more HP then recommended for an auto. I'm sure we're all crossing fingers!

I've seen a few posts with stock blocks blowing with 9 psi. Nothing can go wrong with detonation when you're running boost on an engine with the compression that our 3v's have especially in cold weather and in overdrive.

Why do you get detonation? Most often is because of a piss poor tune, regardless of hear say about the tuners reputation. It's so much different to tune the 3Vs and modular motors. Or piss poor gas. Regardless 15 lbs is too much for the stock motor like I said originally. 12 lbs is about the max you can go with a perfect tune and good gas. I don't understand why you would run it hard if you saw it had a CEL though. Stupid hurts..
