Any idea what your intake temps were when your engine went south? An intercooler, tune and proper gauges. "boost,wideband,fuel pressure are absolute necessities for any forced induction setup. A 4.8 is cheap and can easily handle the boost level you mentioned above as long as you get it tuned correctly.

The truck was professionally tuned (mail order but my truck only has 2 mods from stock, with the only 2 mods) for the blower and 42# injectors. No im not sure that i blew the rings out, but im blowing oil out of the dipstick when i get on it (obviously getting some blow by) im not running a boost gauge because on my truck i cant get a good vaccum (my fuel pressure reg. is in the tank.), no i dot have a intercooler, no wideband air/fuel...

how can a "CHEAP" motor hand alot of boost?
