not sleeved, just overbuilt from the factory. hell the older v8 tundra's can take over 1200 hp before they need forged internals

people are modding without the proper monitoring.
"i have an a/f gauge, what more do i need?!!"
whats the cylinder temps?
"i have no idea"
ah ha!
42.5's can support a 2.8 IF {notice the caps kids, pay attention} you take the proper steps to ensure that you are not going stupid with it. cooling mods, water injection, a GOOD tune on it. im sure i will get flamed for it, thats fine. i, like other people with hp tuners, have this great ability to drop boost off via bypass valve. which is what i will be doing. the added torque, but keeping the same boost levels as the stage 2 pulley.
pure and simple, people are not monitoring egt's. you may not get any knock, but you have no idea what the temps are inside of the cylinders. hence broken, or melted ringlands

hence why i can get away with 25 degrees of timing, 15 lbs, and zero knock. how you might ask? i spent 2 months tinkering and finally got it.
also something else, i do know that majority of this crowd is younger then 25. when you constantly beat the **** out of a car, it WILL break. no matter what it is. be nice to the car, it will be nice to you

I think kids get addicited to boost, and just keep getting smaller and smaller pulleys until, pop!

i think the best pulley to run would be the 2.85 the afr are safe on th 42.5 injectors and 60lbs injectors are over kill on our week fuel pump. As long as you tune it good and again dont beaqt the **** out of your car you should be good.

This is one of the best threads i've read yet. I have just been informed of a ton of things that i would of never looked at. I'm preety new to boost and was gonna start modding the wrong way but thanks to yall my eyes have been opened. So basically these cars need to be cooled cause we get tons of heat from our blower? And we need a good tune.

i have come across three 07's, and the timing and fuel tables are different.
my car rarely see's more then 3 lbs of boost during the week, im not in a hurry, or being messed with. so there is no point in beating on it. it's like masturbating, all your doing is beating yourself

im not sure if you have noticed, but, every stage 2 car i have come across has a completely different tune from gm in it.

Good luck getting the motor OVER 300whp anyways. Driver stupidity is the real reason engines blow.

+1 rep on the creator of this thread, it is really good thread lots of interseting and unknown information uncovered. I currently have the dual pass but am still waiting on my CA heat exchanger, my next investment after that might have to be a high flow fuel pump. Does anyone know any companies that make a fuel pump for our cars?

Kenny> Good advice. I personally wouldn't limit boost there. In Phoenix, there are a lot of stock cars that run over 140 IAT just cruising. I would set limits at ~170*. But everyone will have a different opinion about this.
Also, most members need to learn to identify knock, because I have ridden with a few people who blew their motors, and it turns out that a couple of them are clueless about what knock is, and most likely why they blew their motors. (I call this the driver stupidity error)
