Just read another forum discussing boost on stock internals. About 7 psi to be safe and 9-11 if you feel lucky.

the most you can do on stock is 9psi. Atleast that's what I would set it at just to be on the safe side...

i think 7 is the highest you can run for stage 1 due to fuel requirements..
i have read of a lot of people running between 9-11 with no problem with stage 2 , i am one of them .., but if you get that kit for a good price why not just go straight to stage 2 .. that is what i would have done. that way you dont have to mess with the setup.. , but you could always get a boost contoller and turn it down ..

Come on man, you know you can't be boosting in Addison!

J/k bro

Run 10psi just because of the boost spikes.

Just another way for Addison cop to stay busy

none of that stuff is going to do you any good without injectors.. everything else soulds good but you definetely will need to change the stock injectors.. if you want to run 10 otherwise you will lean out and detonate..

is that Addison,Texas? also stage1 I/C is 7psi safe.....cause of fuel....now add more fuel i.e. bigger injectors and standalone/RRM Stage2....10-11psi is probly the max.

If you want to meet up send me a pm.

If you have fuel and timing management, you can get up to 12psi like AirQuez states. Most of the kits on this forum are set to 6-ish psi on Stage 1, and 9-ish psi on Stage 2 because the FMU solution to boosting sucks and you need to take precautions. With a properly tuned fuel curve and timing adjustments, you can hit 12psi. Life of the engine will be shortened though. I wouldn't go above 10 without forged internals.

Well, sorry you missed out on that kit. There's one on Ebay here for $4000 ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/lance...01189635QQrdZ1 ). Believe it's the RRM Stage 2, but just look at those extras you get. Man, love'n that gauge setup on the dash...
