LOL yes. High octane fuel would help.

Psi dosnt generally dictate power levels, what is your power goal? What turbo? What engine setup?

What fuel will be used?

Higher comp will require a higher fuel grade, e85 or 93. Perhaps running water/meth w/pump gas to be on the safe side. AEM makes a nice water/meth kit.

It can definately be done, just have to be on a decent/good fuel grade & have a good tuner. The margin for error in tuning becomes quite thin on higher comp setups.
