As long as you have the fuel for timing for it, 9-10 psi on a GS-R motor is fine.

You will lose power if your motor blows. And from what I've seen, 10 psi on a stock GSR motor without fuel (assuming you are using an FMU setup?) is plenty to make you lose a ring or two, and probably much worse.

its always bad to abuse your car like that... but we all do! just keep within a safe boost level and make sure everything is all good...

exactly. you're gonna feel like a real dumbass if you blow your motor just cuz "you felt like gettin on it." now.... if you blow your motor while smokin a corvette... i think that's 100% worth it... and makes for a great kill story.
