I actually read the LX could handle as much as 10psi daily on stock internals, due to the lower compression.

now you are getting into the technical information we were talking about.

it all depends.

Generally, any semi-competent shop can tune a car to 4-7 psi. It takes a little more knowledge and experience to tune it to 10 psi daily and keep it safe.
