turn up the boost or no Got a question for you guys.my current set up consists of a notch foxbody with a stock ls6 long block with a tick turbo cam,
on3 t76 50\50 water meth with m10 nozzle and th400 ptc verter and rear
gears a 2.73.ran the car for the first time today and ran a 10.78@133.5 eith a 1.9 60ft.i know theres room from the 60ft and stuff is in the works for that.but the real question I have is do you guys think it would be safe to turn the boost up past 14 psi with the compression ratio? Looking to gain 10 mph.im thinking it would be better to step up to a real\bigger turbo.thoughts?

Lol.im mainly worried about the compression. If I was on e85 I wouldnt be as worried.i think I need a s480 or a pt88 on 14psi to get where I want but im not sure.plus nows the time since I need a new turbo

I wouldn't on that small turbo. Back pressure will be really high and increase you're chance of detonation.
Sell that turbo and get a pt88. Also run another meth nozzle and straight meth.
When i go to the track even with meth i run a few gallons of c16 also. Its cheap insurance especially on a stock motor

Thats what im leaning towards since I need a new turbo.i think its time to add another nozzle and run strait meth.i wish I could go e85 but its just not available for me.my main concern is to not hurt my low mile ls6.
