From what I have been told, no more than 10psi of you want it to last.

throw a blockguard in there, get a nice tune, and run 20psi all day. I did for a year and a half on a t3/t04B/440cc/hondata/stock motor setup...drove her to work everyday, too.

How many degrees though should he back off on timing per psi? with 12:1 a/f ratio?

just do 1 # to be safe and use some toulene in your mixture. you can add a efw more degrees in the last boost column but the gains wont be much.

Yep seen it done before....
The comment about 10psi which engine are you refering to?
each engine is different, 10psi on a sohc d15 is a lot harder then 10psi on a b18c, then add tuning into it's a whole new ball game...it soundws as though he's got the tuning dept in check
