Tuning is the key no matter what your setup consist of...

Jason a.k.a (st00pid) had a car he was pushing 20psi daily on stock LS motor.

But I do regular maintenance on my car. I also put in Sunoco Ultra 94 and I do not abuse my car daily. Some days...I boost the crap out of it and the others I just drive to get from point A to point B. Just use good judgement and any stock motor boosted will last a long long time.
