I've seen 18+psi. I'm not sure what ratio it was though. He ran 11's until it blew up I've personally ran 10-12psi til my stock pistons went last year.

btw..both of these were with safc's, 310-440cc injectors, upgrade fuel pump, missing link and tuned by inlinepro

Sure there crap, but they work. A lot better then nothing. And when your not made of money there a great option.

It all depends on what size injectors you run and how much fuel pressure you feel comfertible with.

There is no limit to what can be run safely. Thats just a halfass way of doing things.

If you have to run it temporarily, just run as low as your WG allows. I ran 6-7PSI on an FMU for a while, over 15k if I remember right. Car was a completely different animal when I ditched it for Hondata however.
