With correct cam timing his car should make 180+ at 7 psi. Stock injectors will do 160, maybe.

I would never boost my car at 5lbs its waste of money.
Just use cheep 450cc injectors and tune it..! At 7lbs you might get 180whp with good street tune.
And don't trust base maps, its unsafe. I use basemap only when I go tune my car and I drive slow.
And say good bye to your catalic convereter, other wise its gonna be slow becouse of too much back presure...
Those engines are strong and you can go 10-12lbs on stock pistons, but your gonna need bigger exhaust, stronger fuel pump and about 550cc injectors, and map sensor... and good tune.! And you can make 250hp at the wheels easy, .................. alot of fun.

Even though a small boost spike is nothing more than a gift, on stock piston/rod motor you won't last long with huge spikes. I had a friend make 185whp at 7.5-8psi on a shitty greddy turbo kit with stock exhaust and cat.
