Default Is it ok to boost on a phearable base tune?

Iam putting a turbo kit on my 91crx that has a d16z6. I have 550cc injectors, 255lph fuel pump, 2step colder spark plugs (bkr7e), 15*btdc base timing and a phearable chipped ecu which I bought to come chipped for all these mods with 10psi+t3/t04e turbo. Could I trust this tune enough to drive around with it for awhile and running say 8.5psi? can I mix some race gas in there and dyno it? I plan on getting a tuner to dyno/street tune my car; but, it might be a week or two before I can get something set up.

Phearable.net recommends forced induction or users with heavily modified motors dyno tune their vehicles as soon as possible to ensure proper air/fuel mixtures & motor safety.....

thats what I figured.

I was just wondering if I could throw in a mix of 93 and race gas and just boost ~8psi. If it gets to lean on the wideband I would just pull out.

How much would it be for you guys to tune it for what I need? I live about 2 hours east of tampa.

I'd rather spend $$ on a rental than being impatient not getting tuned and damaging something

base maps are just that. they allow you to get to the dyno thats all. why spend all that hard earned loot just to grenade your engine.
