It all depends on how much CFM your turbo is pushing... Boost levels are irrelevant without knowing what turbo you will run.

I had my drag III at 10-12 psi, with 12 degrees of timing with at 50 trim compressor/.63 ar turbine T04/t3 turbo, 310 cc injectors, and a 8:1 vortech FMU. car ran fine. no problems. i ran 93 octane all the time.
