I'm not talking about the forced induction system. I'm talking about engine components. No problem with my Whipple either.

I run 16-17 psi on my stock long block for over a year now.

E85, squash and had to upgrade to the id1300s because the id850s couldn't keep up with the demand needed with e85

Yes, several are.

Procharger, vortech, Paxton, whipple, etc, the motor doesn't care what the air comes from. If you think a procharger is going to be safer because of the brand, that is just silly.

No clue where mine is. I've never dyno'd it.

And if you are going for that power you are going to need to swap out the 6L80

It will never hold that power. Just throw a 4L in it

Procharger gave you a Procharger to landscape your boat?

Once again, motor doesn't care. You can blow up a motor with a procharger just as easy as a vortech.
