some ppl have run over 10psi.........but expect you HG to go.

what for fuel system are u plannin on ??

Many ppl that are boosting that much are using alcohol injection to run that high of boost safely. If you do not use a alcohol injection system, then i suggest some type of piggyback like a safc with a adjustable cam gear and get it tuned or you can install a greddy e-manage which would be better.........but u will need a shop that knows how to use it.

With any fuel system or upgrade. Don't even try to go over 2psi.
