I've done up to 20psi Stock. But that was for about 1 second with a shitty boost controller!!!
I ran 8.5psi for about 1.5yrs and then up to 11-12psi for another few months before I tore her down to withstand 22.5psi daily.

What zc's scholar?

PM7 Rods (ZC) and USDM D16 rods are the same. No difference.
PG7 (87-89 teg) are thicker, but made of a crappier material.
Oh and the 200hp Unsafe mark as been proven wrong TIME AND TIME again. 230-250 stock has been seen in DD applications.
