There is too many things to factor in i.e. engine wear, fuel management. Just because someone says you can run 7 psi "safe" doesn't mean it is gonna be "safe" on your engine.

6-8psi seems safe...but then again you could blow your motor with 3psi...its all in the tuning... i know someone that was running like 14psi on a ZC, non-intercooled. not saying its smart but if tuned right it might last a couple weeks

with good fuel management=wlabro 255 fuel pump, vafc or uberdata chipped ecu, and bigger injectors-dsm 450s'-tunned
right. you could run 10psi safely, daily.

it's not as much as how many psi's too run but how much power you're making.......well tuned with turboedit/uberdata I'd run no more than 220-230 whp.
