Default can I run 7psi safely?

I have a b16a2 that i am currently running 4.5lbs of boost on and my only form of fuel management is a vortech fmu. I am also running a huge intercooler 28"x6.5"x2.5". It feels strong, but I would love to run a little more. Right now there are no probs what so ever. So should I wait to dyno it first to see my a/f ratio or what?

I guess another question would be if I am running a 10:1 disc could the stock fuel pump survive the extra 70psi on top of idle pressure estimated 36psi

Yep should not be a problem. I would put another fuel pump in.

would it be safe on the stock fuel pump in?

get an inline fuel pump with that fmu ...inline highly recommended with that setup with an vafc......and go to the dyno so you won't have any BOO BOOS.....get a full tune....what's your setup?

read my sig. for the setup. I am going to dyno it at 4 1/2lbs of boost like it is, but as for an inline fuel pump, I think I'll wait for my income tax check to get hondata. I was basically just saying that if i go to the dyno and my a/f is rich like 11.1 or what ever should I throw in the 7lb spring? Then see where the a/f is at. I know I am going to need a new fuel pump anyways, but an inline would not be ideal for hondata.

so whats max psi on stock pump

good idea though if it comes to me not getting the hondata i could try that
