Re: (Makdaddynuge)
What kind of gas do you run, and how much compression?
I wouldn't run 21 pounds of boost on any kind of cali **** water 91 octane, unless you're under 9:1 compression. One long WOT pull, and you could say seeya to your motor.

Get your car on a dyno and figure out how much HP you want to make.. Tune your car keeping in the mind the octane of the fuel that your using and all that.. Then after you have a good tune look at the psi and thats the psi you should run..
