The numbers are indeed amazing!
That said, I am not sure it blows the myth that 10 psi is the max safe boost on a stock gasket... One or two dyno runs is not quite daily drive reliability testing!
Mase, would you really run 14psi on a stock block and gasket for a daily drive?
Phil, it sounds like your car will be legendary once you get it back. Please drive carefully mate!

I have put over 60 dyno pulls and atleast 20 pulls on the street so far on higher than average boost.
125k motor loves it
it came over wore out too, this is coming from a motor that only put down 181, about 10-15 whp less then what it should be putting down.
it proves that tuning is essential when boosting high compression applications.
If the tuning was off, this motor would have been dead within the first several pulls at high boost.
Lastly, im even willing to bet when i put the gt35r in and turn the boost to 22-23 psi (max out the current injectors), the motor will still not lose a beat.

22-23 psi on a stock motor, jesus your more then doubling the so called safe limit, guess there might be a new safe limit on stock compression, good luck man
