b16, headgasket, Arp Headstuds and a block guard! How much boost?

Could I do 14-15psi? If I also upgrade my fuel and have it tuned? Just wanna hear from some people who are doing this and just looking for any kind of problems, what kind of boost their running and what kind of numbers your looking at! Thaks

very impressive numbers. your whole drivetrain is stock along with your bottom end? can you list your mods. I have a b16a2 as well and I am shooting for 280 whp. but if you did 309 with stock everything DAMN!!
