I think your caps lock is broken



I ran 11psi on my higher compression GSR and never had a problem. I also run 11psi in my d16 now and don't have a problem. Its all on tuning

oh yeah, i run 11 psi daily on my b16 which has higher c/r and i drive it 100 miles a day and beat the ---- out of it and take it to the track on weekends, and i don't even have my uberdata properly tuned. you'll be safe for at least 12 psi daily and you can turn it up a few psi at the track if you want, just get your uberdata tuned good.

No it isn't... I've been pushing 10lbs daily for over 2 years on my stock LS with a T3/T4e .57 trim. No problems daily driving (other than the occasional blown chargepipe coupler), racing at the track or freeway cruises. I'm actually looking to tune higher because I definately feel with the proper tuning it could do more than 10. At 10lbs on a stock LS with that size turbo your probably looking in the range of 230 whp. LS engines and even the higher compression GSR's/ B16's will take more power and still be safe as long as your tuning is up to par.

an ls motor with 10 psi from a .57 t3/t4 properly tuned should make more than 230 whp, a b16 would make like 260+

i've seen a b16 stock with hondata tuning push 12 psi and dyno at 320whp...he's going to push 15 right before he boes his engine swap just to see if it can handle it...he's puttin a b18c block with a b17 head ...its really nice he just got it back from the machine shop...
