I was only planning to run 7-8 psi. It's all dependent on how the tuning is going. How the car is taking to the boost and all that jazz.

The bottom ends "Typical" limits are like 550whp right? I heard that boost wasn't really the issue as long as the tune was on point. To an extent obviously. If I could run 8 psi and keep the car completely safe. Then of course i'd do it. The ultimate goal is to trap 125mph or higher.

some people that run these STS cars dont need 8 psi to make that kinda power..... i know if my car made 8 psi i would be over 550rwhp. build up to it, dont just jump waist deep into it, a gradual step for the motor would seem to be the best for it instead of just shoving it in there...... just my .02
