Just use methanol as gas and you will be fine.

dood, you can run 7psi non-intercooled. as long as the ignition is backed off a bit and you have enough fuel it's all good, just not efficient. there are people that run alot more boost than that, non-intercooled (10+psi on hondas and I know of a guy that roadraces a dodge in a particular class where he can't add an intercooler, but can up the boost...he's running about 18psi!!!, which is crazy )

I ran a stock engine Integra LS at 7psi with no intercooler for a year with absolutely no problems. Fuel management was stock injectors with only a 12:1 Vortec FMU. I had the pedal to the floor and the engine to redline all the time. I have the piping if you want it (I just got an intercooler).
