how much boost can it handle

hey everyone im sure this has been covered somewhere on the forum but i just cant find exactly what im looking for so sorry( to all those that feel like flaming)

just wondering if 24lbs is to much for stock studs?? i have intake full TBE w/ o2 housing, boost controller at 24lbs, and 3" FMIC... ive heard you can run 25lbs safely but not to sure about that??

thank you all very much and sorry again haha

24psi is fine...my next mod would be to upgrade your studs when you have cams done.

Anyway, you'll be fine with a safe tune.

Thats cuz you are both on e85. Second post states he is on 93. Your tune decides your boost levels. Your timing plays a role in boost and knock, so there is no "set" boost level. Every car is different.

as long as you dont knock you can run 30psi with no problem. Detonation pressure causes the issue not just boost your running. I say 25psi with some little knock is fine on the stock headstuds and no need to do it.
