I hate to say it, but I do not believe the LS3 could handle 16.5 lbs of boost with stock internals.

I'd like to believe it too but that is alot for the near 11.3:1 compression ratio in the LS3. That just doesn't take well to very much boost. The reason he can handle that much boost is that his CR is no where near that high? I'm guessing? And possibly his motor has forged internals stock?
All questions. But I do know that 16 psi on 11:1 is risky. Especially at redline under max load...
EDIT: 10.7:1 not 11.3:1
