max psi to run... What is the max psi I can run safely without spraying meth?? I have a 402 iron block, sts with a t-70, and a intercooler. Does 10 or 11psi sound about right??

CR?
Camshaft?
Forged or cast pistons/rods?

It could be different when you have different load because of more weight and more traction.

just turn it up, and log for a while. make sure the fuel pressure stays constant, and ur not gettin any DET or KR.....i think u should be more that fine really. id be more worried about the fuel system than the engine component strength.

I'm sure you can run 10-11 psi without meth, assuming your combo is relatively efficient (ie. your intercooler is not the size of a lunch box).
I've been reading meth threads off and on for a few years, and it seems like meth is acts like straight 104 unleaded/110 leaded... I would not push it farther than that.
