4psi is hardly anything.

Drop that iron block in there and crank it up to 8-9 pounds. My 4000 Pound Buick felt like a fucking rocketship with a 76mm masterpower on 15 pounds, I can only imagine what that would feel like

Soooo... Why does it need an iron block for 8-9 pounds? That stock block shouldn't have any problem with such a low boost level, should it...?

4 psi because that the spring that was in it and I didnt feel like changing right then, my wastegate isnt easy to get to. stock block has gone 14-15 but with the iron block its much more reliable and safer at even 18 psi. look up 5.3l turbo hotrod magazine turbo test and its the first link.

So what block is it now? A 5.3 aluminum block? LS2? LS1? And when you say iron block you must mean a 6.0L or you're doing it wrong.
