On the y7 I have done it before at the track. I would'nt run it daily without a good bit of tuning. The clutch will give up before your internals will.

EDIT: Just saw you are talking about doing this on the blue box. I definately don't think I would.

EDIT x2: Damn, just realized this was a testimonial and not a question. Kudos to you. You are a braver man than I.

do a compression test and see if your #'s are ok. then IMO you should go ahead and replace your headbolts for some aftermarket headstuds just in case. however, i wouldnt trust 10 psi on just the blue box. but i have seen people pump it up to 11psi on the blue box and be fine. just do it right the first time and get yourself a good fuel management system. good luck
