anyone hear of another blown harley?

Guy posted on Halo that a bud blew his motor running 16lbs. That would be an 8lb lower plus an L upper or a 10lb lower. Seems like too much boost to me.

Anyone have any idea of who this was?

All I know is he said he was running 16lbs and a Diablo.

This is hearsay, so do not take this to heart. I was hoping someone else may have heard about it.

Ken

...and end up with a lot of hot air. I really think that the ideal street-driven peak boost for these trucks is about 13--14 lbs. They lose efficiency very quickly over that.

I have a friend at a dealer in New Orleans, said a guy down there(not on either site) blew his motor up. He told me the guy was running a pulley and NOS. He didn't know what other mods it had.
