elmeventy eighdy?

It's more like how much power can it hold. I wouldnt push teh motor past 200whp on a good tune. what turbo are you using? This will give a better idea of how much power you will make per psi.

EDIT: with an fmu, I wouldnt go past 8 psi.

200 million psi! lol nah dont even waste your time with a fmu, i assume your obd1 so go with uberdata or crome. and i cant tell you how much boost to run b/c it all depends on the setup. but on stock internals you can get about 200-210hp...use the search button...there is alot of helpful info on this site.

i've been running just over 200whp for well over a year and 180+ for almost 3 years. don't go by psi, but by whp. good tune and keep turning up the boost until you get in the 200-210 range and then stop. start looking to build the bottom end and some headwork if you want more.
