Anything over about 33-35psi and you just pushing hot air and high drive pressure.

Yeah thats what i have read before. I usually dont run it that hard but it will get there. What are the stock gaskets and bolts good for? 40-45?

45psi is fine, but it's not boost that kills gaskets. Its timing and high drive pressure.....and you've got alot of both! you too LUKE!!!!

I know I like to live on the Wild Side.

Before I put in the boost elbow I could hit 33 or so and with the elbow ive hit 47 a few times. No one really makes a good adjustable elbow anymore. Guess its just time for a Turbo.

I believe the only one that makes a true adjustable one is from TST.
