Default SHOULD I UP MY BOOST FROM 6-7PSI TO?

should i up my boost from 6-7psi to 10 psi

i have a gsr w/ stock internals (from what i hear 10 psi is a safe number and why not have 30 more whp ...about)

this would require an MSD BTM, ignition, and 310 injectors

is it worth it??? any input.....

ohh i would re-do my exhaust too

I wouldn't advise it. I know a lot of people who are doing it, but any psi without having the appropriate A/F ratio will be damaging. Just make sure that your A/F ratio is OK (i.e. using a wideband O2 sensor). My suggestion is to wait until you get a standalone and tune it or only run at 10psi once and a while, but hey, I'm conservative.

Hmm.. I guess my answer would be, why not? I'm sure after a couple 10psi pulls you'll be glad you did Just make sure you have taken all the precatuions you'll need.

Worst case scenario you crack a ring land and get to build the motor. Go for it hehe.
