Default How much boost can a b18c1 handle safely?

Was just curious on how much boost a stock block would handle with the right fuel management?

Don't forget. It's also depending on how hard you drive the car. Another thing to consider is if you run higher boost... even with proper fuel management...your valves will probably go also. I would tell you to run around 8 for safety but I am sure you can run more. Don't forget about detonation and knock with 91 octane.

It would depend on what your definition of safe is. .75psi (NA) can still blow engines
