No kidding, M6 I'm guessing? I'd be real pissed if you don't hit 600 honestly on 9 psi. Make sure your tune is dead-on, 9 lbs on a stock bottom is pushing it. You're creating alot of cylinder pressure for stock pistons/rings with that much boost. I think you'll hit your 550 goal with 5-7 lbs (depending on how efficient the kit is) and be easier on the motor.

its lower compression now, with the lq9 heads. 9lbs will be fine...
