No, I'd like to run it on 91. I forgot to mention the FI I'm goin with is a P-1SC . . . "looking" smog legal for a tech is key. The cam I'm goin to run will be the newest CheaTR cam-217/230 117LSA, good for smog and for boost and with stock sound an inspector will be fooled

as long as you have forged internals you will be fine. the stick LS pistons tend to let go after long term use of 10# of boost or more. read the supercharger thread, and look at the survey on the sticky how many miles it took to blow their motor and how much boost they were running
