If its stock bottom end I wouldnt go over what your at, It may last a bit but I think it would be a ticking time bomb.

Better rods and pistons are required in the shortblock to run more boost.http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...php?service=83

The fuel system may need updating as well, depending on what you currently have. Bob
