Boosted LS3-- valve seal issues
Hey guys I need some help..... I've got a Paxton 2200sl/cam and full bolt ons and 815rwhp on 93oct. gas.....I have needed to replace 3 valve seals within 800 miles of build....now it seems I need to replace more if not the same (car goes to shop tomorrow)
Is it normal? Is their a solution to keep it from happening?
Any recommendations would help. Thanks!

I doubt it has anything to do with your LS3 being supercharged. No, it's not normal. I'd bet your valve springs and or retainers are somehow coming into contact with your valve seals. Maybe a mismatched valve spring/retainer/seal combo.
