I see where everyone says 120hp tune is the max for stock engine you want to run. I have a G56 which is lower to start with does that mean the motor can handle the 150hp on a regular basis?

No such thing as a dumb question my friend. You can run the tunes on 120 or 150. It's all in how YOU drive that will determine how long things will last. If you have a heavy foot, then yes the lower tunes will save you. If you do not have a heavy foot and just drive casually you will be fine. What gets people is they forget it's on the higher tunes and they go to pass people or have fun and then they will start to have problems slowly but surely. Or fastly but surely LOL depending on how much you do it.
I run my truck on a 175hp daily but i pay attention to everything, let it warm up before taking off, let it go through a couple heat cycles before getting on it hard in any sort of way. I always bump it down when i tow and what not.
Everyone's opinions and situations are different for sure though.

There is more cylinder pressure on the higher HP tunes and it’s recommended that you install head studs to keep everything held down tight. That engine can make twice the HP that it’s given from stock, we just need to make sure that everything stays bolted down! Like Clayton said, it all depends on what kind of driver you are. Let the engine warm up before letting it built any boost if you have to leave in a hurry. I used to race mustangs and I always told people that the only difference between a stock engine and forged engine is a few seconds, just drive it responsibly. And if you’re deleted and running Warp Tuning, the detuned gap with the G56 is probably eliminated.

The gap is more of where my question comes from.

And to add to this statement ... THE only dumb question is asking this after the engine blows apart .. instead of before !

Being that you have the MM3 and using Warp Tuning, you should have the same power levels as the high outputs depending on the year of your truck. Some of the newer trucks that are considered high output only have the Aisin I believe.

I can’t give you my personal opinion since I don’t have a G56 nor have I tuned my truck yet, but I did remember seeing this video on Double R Diesel’s YouTube channel. Around 5:10 he talks about only going up to a 60hp tune with a stock clutch. Hope this helps!

Yep, I can vouch for that. I couldn't use the 90hp tune until I replace the clutch, it slipped at 1/4 throttle...
