Default What kinda power without an ic or meth

Ok I know I'ma get a buncha **** for this but would it be ok to temporarily for say one summer to run straight from turbo to intake without a ic or meth. I don't wanna run a lot of boost maybe 5 to 10 lbs. Forged bottom end iron block ls1 with 317 heads and flat top pistons prolly round9.4 compression. Sheet metal intake master power 76 mm turbo

5lbs maybe, but I wouldn't think 10lbs. What fuel? Maybe with Ethanol, but I would think 10psi would be just risking it. Even if you can... Why risk it?

I am no LSX guru though.

I dont see why spending a little over 200 for a FMIC and spending a weekend putting it on would be a hassle, not worth the risk
