So I figured 7xxrwhp on 91 with a few gallons of 101 in there for safety, and strait 101 on the 9xxrwhp setting assume it does that on 15-16 lbs.

You do understand that engine longevity has nothing to do with boost psi per se, correct? If you were making 1000 RWHP on 6 lbs you still would trash your motor with detonation.

When I went I thought the same thing, but the only person in that place was an old lady in a Maxima. At 6 bucks a gallon I didn't feel the need to show her what was up. LOL.

Hahah, ya I was supposed to race Sam before he moved... he had that 408 with a d1 or f1 right? woulda been a bad *** race
Ya Mike was in the car when we were driving it. He looked pretty scared shitless in the face too haha.

i drive mine around at 830+ at 14psi but i run 93 and keep timing way down. Going on 18 months now and not so much as even a head gasket. Runs at about 185 too. You wanna play, you pay.
