you can run 11lbs safely if tuned properly and maybe more than that as long as your A/F is good. If you run 11lbs or more and your car is running lean....your gonna pop something! If it's a bit on the rich side, thats a little safer and more than likely you will be able to have more boost.

lol i run 15 on a stock engine

i would say 9psi if your totally scared/**** about breaking stuff, and 11psi otherwise.

But it really is all in the tune Timing and A/F play a BIG role
