Default Upping the boost, couple questions.

I'm currently running 8lbs of boost. I'm planning to up it to around 12 or 14.

Do I still want to use TR6's or should I go with a different plug?

I currently have a Walboro 255lph fuel pump, is that enough to support that much boost safely?

Is there a certain weight of oil i would want to use with higher boost?

I would maybe try the TR7's and see how they work...

I would definitely go with another pump and maybe steel braided lines... You could also try a BAP to see if your pressure drops off and if it doesn't and you're not going lean then you're probably safe...

As long as your rings are good I would say stay with the same oil you're running now....Just change it often as usual...

with a racetronix pump (255) and harness, #6line, rails, front-mount fuel pressure regulator, AND methanol, mine would lose 30psi or more pressure at 12-12.5psi.

So NO, you need more pump.

What would you guys recommend for a BAP? And what is the install time, would I have to get into the fuel tank?

I believe kenny bell makes the best BAP and they aren't that expensive...you can probably even find them used...
