i would run a little less boost (6 or 7), and bossibly use a inlinepro headgasket to lower the compression some depending on your current cr.
TUNING w/ hondata, uberdata, etc is critical!

Yeah, 8-10 is all gravy provided that you have a good tune. I've been running my Z6 at 10 psi for the past 25k miles and raping it hard.

on the ls motor, you are golden to run 8 psi wiht it stock.
