You need to go back to high school.

You are running 8 PSI, not 8 PDS. That is Pounds per Square Inch.

I assume it's an attempted abbreviation at "pounds" which actually should be lbs or more accurately PSI because that is what is actually be measured.

You can run 30 PSI if you want. Of course your **** will blow up, but if that's what you want.................


There are a lot of factors that go into how much PSI you can run. Maybe your tuner is just conservative and looking to keep your motor as reliable and long-lasting as possible. Maybe there is some other limiting factor to your setup, like the injectors or compression. Ask your tuner why he doesn't want to run more than 8 PSI. If he won't talk to you about it, then it may be time for a new tuner.

just to give you a tip. please be specific when asking questions with good details.

i hate it when someone PM's me and says " is this still for sale?" when i have a million sponsor special prices posted up.

youll get bashed on honda-tech for being vague.
