Default What boost is safe to run daily

Ok my think is this, I was researching on the K20 swap and I've seen numbers at 6.5psi pushin about 275whp and that got me thinking right there, maybe I should get the K series, but at first I had the B18c and it was fully built, so is it possible to get 275whp on 6-9 psi?

Eagle Rods
GE Sleeves or Stock
Stock GSR head and cams
CP Pistons 9.1 or 9.5
Stock Intake manifold
FMAX Stage 2 Turbo
3'' Apexi N1 Exhaust
Hondata S200b or Stage 3.
500 or 700 RC Peak and Hold Injectors
60-1 t3/t4e hybrid with a stage 3 turbine wheel

I've searched and no results but if anyones has pushed 275whp on a low number psi then tell me ur setup.

It doesn't matter how much psi you run daily, it's the amount of horsepower that puts wear on your engine. With your buildup 275whp should be fine with a good tune.

but my thing is this... once I have the B18c motor built and that extra 100whp from the turbo kit is added Im lookin at 285whp at 7-9psi correct? cause Im tryin to be the human dyno here and I wanna make sure im correct, cause I was reading somethin off turbo-kits.com its a 125whp gain once the kit is installed.

The FMAX Stage 2

It's possible that you will make that power at 6-9psi, but everyone's setup is different. It's very hard to be a human dyno. You need a real one.
