yeah youre pretty much at the point that everyone gets too with an L67 time to spend $1500 just to intercool it so you can add more boost. then the cost of pulley, injectors ,tune etc then you get to the point that you keep upping boost and gaining low down torque but no extra HP cause your getting the extra PSI just from the heat expanding the charge air not actually forcing more air in

it been proven on a dyno that ya loose power with any pulley above 10psi (without a cooler) cause of the extra heat it pull's timing or something and end up loosing kw....

but if ya got a cooler and all ya other mods pretty sure its sweet to run 19psi pulley if its tuned for it..

VS L67
That is true with the Ecotec but the L67 came out with forged internals, much stronger engine! I'm not saying it will and I'm not saying it wont!!

The L67 bottom end is not forged. The pistons are coated though.
