As long as the tune is safe the internals should hold it no problem. That whp figure your looking for is what the RRM kit pushes and they run around 7psi i think.

Sick ride . Keep us posted.

Quick update... Unfortunately not a good one. Well, after my parents crashing my car, someone hitting my car and leaving, my parents dropping a ladder on my car, drunk idiots at Laurier jumping on my hood, my neighbor backed into my car tonight...

I spray painted the front grill black and went to Canadian Tire (if you're not in Canada, I'm sure autozone or places like that will have it) and bought stick on chrome trim (3/8 inch). I used a heat gun to shape it and get a better stick. Let me know if you need any more info regarding it
