Default What could i safely boost right now?

I am really itching to go to the track but i havent gotten everything that i want done to my car yet. I am looking into buying a wideband o2 sensor and receiver. I have my ecu chipped using turboedit and he made a conservative basemap. How much boost could i run on a built zc, (wiseco pistons, and crower rods) i have stock fpr and fuel pump with 450 dsm injectors. I dont want to chance anything so what would be a safe boost level to run at?

I am going to guesstimate 15 psi. As long as you have a good AFR, your bottom end is built, so it will handle the psi, and you upgraded fuel (somewhat). However, I would hold off on the track until you get the wideband 02 sensor.

I would not go past 6 psi til my **** was tuned tuned and tuned some more. Just wait til you get the fpr and def. an inline fuel pump

im kinda with kaoss. you dont wanna kill your brand new built bottom end just cause you couldnt wait to tune it. maybe 9psi at the most.

well they say stock is good for 6-7 psi with no real fuel managment. and a little bit of tuning. so i'd say 9-10 to be super super safe like you want to be.

dont dick around with it wait to screw around at all till its tuned. You are probably itching to boost but hold off and then run 20 and blow it having fun, not while its an untuned 8 psi

Well once i get the wideband, which ive been looking at the m300 on here, will i be able to boost much on the stock fpr and fuel pump as long as i watch my a/f ratio? I was thinking of staying around 5 psi for now and see how that does. Oh yeh and its not single cam its dual. Does anyone have any experience with the m300? If so how do you like it?
