I've got a TME Turbo, Injen FMIC, and ARP Headstuds....I'm running 25psi right now...could I go higher safely? and would I need a re-tune?

Are you running race fuel or some kind of injection? 25psi seems a little high for just those mods.

Yeah, I've got a buscher Alky injection kit......

I can run 100% denatured alky, or I can do a mix of water/alky...

I would not go much higher. I run about that on 110 leaded.

Need to get tuned and look at your AFs if you intend to go higher.

pdxtuning and al of dynoflash should be able to help me out...I got a dynoflash custom tune, so I'm pretty sure they'll help me out a bit.

You can spike all the way upto 32psi with a proper tune... I'd recommend to stay at 28psi ~ 30psi with a proper tune... and keep in mind, you can run leaner if you're spraying meth/alky.
