with your set up i think you only enough fuel for about 10-14 lbs for a little bit. I wouldnt recommend that you stay with that for too long. You will need a bigger fuel pump and some better injectors. Just becuase you have a sleeve block dont mean **** if you dont have the fuel for it. So your sleeves wont crack under higher boost, but your going to denonate if you are going to plan to run more then 14 psi

id go with like 450's cc injectors, str fuel rail or sumthin, and bosch/aeromotive inline fuel pump and like an aeromitive regulator, to adj psi..but also get a fuel press gauge....and upgrade fuel lines from tank to pump to rail...or however your gonna set it up....but you could run 20+ on that block...all u need is a good fuel set up...or standalone and injectors.

Yeah the intake Holley/Walbro 255lph can flow enough for way more than 20PSI will give you. The FMU I would forget about though. A standalone will be the only way to run 20PSI sucessfully over a period of time longer than one day.

you may be able to take 15 lbs on a small t3/4, but you won't take that off a 62-1. its about hsp and how much your motor can make safely. not about boost.

ditto... and probably 500 or 700cc + injectors but like 97CivicFerio said you will definately want a standalone/Hondata 4B for 15+ PSI
