without some other mods it will handle far more than your fuel system will be able to keep up with.

Most are dialing them in around 22-23psi, but I find that a bit high for stock fuel pump.

Yes you can get it up higher, but when I say your fuel system may not keep up I mean you may be running leaner than you would like.

I bring this up because I run a tune and have recently done some logging and have found that my fuel system can only keep me at the AFRs I want it at if I run 19psi or lower. So I am putting in a new fuel pump. But even if you can run the AFR you want at 25 PSI its not recomended on the stock system.

I suggest doing a search as this topic has been covered numerous times and the info is at your finger tips.

BTW...25psi is not something that is recommended, even with a tune. You will find you are blowing nothing but hot air increasing your chance for detonation.
