you sir should not post to give advice on topics you dont know answers to. 20 psi is 100% irrelevant to anything without mentioning a turbo

I love how you pretend you know what your talking about,

when the REAL screwed up thing in my post was the MAP sensor bypass.

which you didnt mention, and I assume you think is viable...

i wouldnt go over 300-325hp. on a stock engine from my experience. its more fun to have a decent car last for longer. with a solid tune you can have the car last forever, driven daily and run like a stock car. just my $.02

why on earth would you want to screw with someone (eg. the OP) who doesn't know an answer like that?

We all had to learn sometime... cut the OP some slack, and go bug some all-motor guys
