team zr1 i no about your custom tune. thanks i scratched the head and cam package and bought the sts rear mounted turbos running 6 psi of boost. i was told if i want for peace of mind i can go with bap.i skiped the alternative injection. any other thoughts of saftey i am changing the springs 918.

With my 98 stock LS1 I see 5 PSI of boost, so far it's still alive (10'000 miles after the installation).
I run 36 lbs Bosch injectors and an additional fuel pump and I see 75% duty cycle @ 6000 rpm and an AFR of 12.5 I guess your fuel system isn't enough for the boost you are making (don't you have the 24 lbs injectors in the 2000 LS1?)
I also run a water/alcohol injection and the results are grate. It richen up the AFR, reduces detonation and cooles down the charge air.
This AFR was measured with water alone and a very low timing. With 50% alcohol (6 GPH) the AFR goes down to 11.5. At that point I can run 17 degrees of timing without KR. More timing or a different AFR didn't changed the performance.

I do not understand your writing as to "go with bap" ? Safety with boost is keeping engine temps down as to water, oil and intake air, plently of fuel to cool pistons and preventing head gaskets from torching pistons by leaking or a common LSx problem is the landrings of piston 7 or 8 breaking and scoring cylinder walls.

Originally posted by teamzr1: ... or a common LSx problem is the landrings of piston 7 or 8 breaking and scoring cylinder walls Why are those two cylinders a problem? I know that certain cylinders in carburated engines may receive less fuel and get damaged, but what happens in FI engines? In carburated engines it depends on the distance carburator-cylinder, but in LSx engines fuel should be the same for every cylinder

so you think the air strem is accelerated in the intake and is "rammed" in the last 2 intakes causing a lean condition in #7 & #8?

It would be interesting to check the flow of the single runners. For example using one of those devices used to check how heads flow.
Is there any official test about that? I bet GM did this kind of measurement during the developement of the LSx intakes.
