Have lots of C7's pushing 12-14 w/ zero issues. It's in the tune sir, the piston weak thing is hogwash. People lifting ring lands is from to much timing flat out, if you make to much power you bend rod's not break pistons.

Good to know. I've been discussing on here the possibility of dropping my pulley down in my A&A kit from 3.8 (8PSI) to either a 3.6 or even a 3.47. The 3.6 should yield about 10PSI and the 3.47 should be around 11psi..

Joe tuned mine with the 3.47". Still recommend you give it a try. No point tuning it for the 3.6 and having to redo it again with the 3.47 when you want that extra boost

Always done single or dual depending on setup. If someone wants a direct port meth than imo they should realize they should just do e85 or race gas. Stop dancing around a real solution is how I feel.
