Default Boosting a b16a.

I know you guys have probably seen tons of these threads, but I searched and couldn't find any answers that really please me. So here it goes.. I have a '95 Del Sol VTEC, and I want to boost it.

Although, I don't have tons of money and the Del Sol is my daily. I could save up money for a drag kit and then a good tune.. My main question is...

Would it be safe to run 7psi on a b16 w/ stock internals @ 115,000 miles.. As long as I have a good tune?

Thanks.

You can run it daily, on 91 octane. Shoot a PM to Delsolemite, who had a stock B16 w/well over 100k miles, boosting 7-9lbs w/out any problems before he decided to build it.
