"if you dont detonate, forged vs cast is irrelevant" which is 100% accurate.

the guy has a point.
with no other information about the engine. on premium gas (98ron 93aki) and assuming that the thing wont fall apart, the best guess you could do if it started its life NA is 0 - 15psi, or if it started its life boosted, 15 - 25psi. way way way rough guesses though. you need to know a lot more about that engine.
