10# of boost safe on10.9:1 engine??

What is the cubic inch of your engine? If it is higher than a 346, you may not be able to get much more than 7 psi out of the P-1SC anyway, depending on the cam profile and cubic inch of your engine. You may also have the smaller 3.5" thick twin high flow intercoolers, which won't be as effective at cooler the compressed air as the newer 4.5" twin high flow intercoolers. You could also go with a large front mount intercooler, which would be less expensive than upgrading to the 4.5" twin high flow intercoolers, and will do a great job at keeping the air cool. Keeping the air cool is one of the keys to how much boost you're going to be able to run. Bob
