14 psi on 91 octane and 8.5:1 compression is not an issue. I've done 16 on many import cars in 110+ degree weather. I'd run 12 just to be safe though and use alky to do 18, but i'm crazy like that. C16 is for high boost, like 22+ psi or cheap insurance if your trying to push the limits. 20-22psi is pretty easy and safe to run on 100 unleaded if you got a good tune.

c16 + 5 more degrees advance sure makes for some fun though

I would run either the HKS GT gate or Turbosmart Progate.

If you're only going to run 10 pounds of boost on pump gas and throw torco in everything you might as well stuff some 10:1 pistons in that motor of yours, because you'll make more power @ 10 psi on 10:1 than you will with 8.5:1, and 10 psi isn't even pushing a motor like that.
