boost..
 
right now i am running at 10# of boost.will it be bad for the stock motor to up the boost more??

i would not go any higher than 10# on a stock motor....thats what i have been told...i have heard too many people blowing their motors gettin greedy

you are already walking on a fine line. I wouldnt push it.

8 lbs = pretty safe

10 lbs = on the brink

12 lbs = I have plans for a new motor anyway

So, if you are ready for a new motor anyways, up the boost. There are actually some tuners who think 12 lbs is the limit.

Do you have a cooler?

Its not so much the boost as the power your making and the heat being produced. If you were pushing 400rwhp i wouldn't go higher. If you have high intake air temps from no intercooler or shitty intercooler setup i wouldn't go higher either. Both of those are bad no so much low amounts of boost like 10-12psi.

But thats me; im a little more outgoing when it comes to making power. Some people wont do more then 8psi. Whats your current setup and numbers?

X2...As long as your tune is good and don't beat on your car all the time, you'll be fine. I'm running 11.5#'s 420rwhp and I've been fine.
