While we were installing an electronic boost controller the boost went a little too high. From what I've heard 23 psi on the street is really damned fast. The rear head gasket seems to have lifted. I'd shoot for 20psi MAX if I was you guys. Thanks Greg for figuring that out for us. Talk about taking one for the team! 2001 Lincoln LS8 1994 Lexus GS300

So 23 psi on a 2.5L would be similar to 18psi on a 3L. At 10.2:1 compression too. Damn. He has balls, I'll give him that. I can guess that car was friggin really fast before it blew!
