can you up the boost and still keep it streetable? I'd rather have the power instantly and all the time than have to buy/refill nitrous...

I agree that 600rwhp seems sort of low for 17psi. I would sooner spend money on the heads, power will come up while boost numbers come down which will be easier on the crank snout as well.
