no, you are around the max HP before your motor will go bye bye. unless the saleens are forged in anyway over the gt's.

buy a forged shortblock from one of the 3v specialists before you bump the boost any. You'll probably find a few people running 11-14lbs on a stock bottom end. Those same guys aren't shy about slapping a new block in. Remember... there's just getting away with it and then there's having it reliable.

realistically.. you're making about as much power as is useful on the street.
