6-8 on a stock block well tuned is safe? ur living in the stone age pal
id say 12 daily. and like 15 at the track is fine..

more like PSI is a bad word. Use horsepower to determine the safety PSI has NOTHING to do with "safety".
To the OP 300whp seems to be the norm. For B16's because of the low torque we see lots of 330whp and up cars doing just fine.

Re: max psi (adseguy)
so your saying that as long as i stay around 300 i should be ok? since this is my dd i wanna make sure it will last for at least a year because that is when i plan a full motor build. but i also wanna have something fast and fun until then

Re: max psi (mugenDA9 lover)
run enough psi to make at or a little under 300 whp. now...depending on the setup, that probably 8-11 psi. you cant really run over 10.7 psi on a stock map sensor anyhow
