ok, so tomorrow I will be finish up installing the rest of some stuff, and before I ran my old MSP at 8psi, but I got a few extra things on my new one, and wanted to run it at, at least 9psi in the summer and than with the Greddy EBC I can switch it to around 7 in the winter, which I won't be driving it then anyways, but once the weather gets cold again basically.. so anyways I am trying to decide whether or not to do 9-9.5psi and assume it will spike, or go for 10psi and keep it from spiking..
I am curious as to how close 10psi is to being over the limit for stock block, I know a lot of people run 10psi all the time, but is 10psi coming close, or is it just running over 10psi really pushing it, I know that if I run 10psi I will most likely tune it to be at 11.5ish all around until around 9psi and/or 5.5-6k rpm where I will drop it to 11 afr.. does that sound reasonably safe?.. I want to run it at 10psi if I know I can tune it like that, and I will still be conservative, and run a pretty low risk of blowing the engine as apposed to 9psi (which I would tune simillary anyways..)
now I know that upping the boost in these cars, or even on stock has it's chances of blowing things up, but disregaurding the freak accidently and the bad rep. that these engines have (damn mazda and their toothpick rods).. does this seem like this would be conservative enough where I would not have to worry about blowing my engine with "normal" driving habits and the occasional spirited drive... I can't really explain it more than that, but I assume that most of you guys get the idea I am going for.. I just don't want to push the engine too much, but with so many people running 10psi and all the supporting mods I have, I think I would be relatively safe with a good tune. (hell I would even be willing to drop the afrs into the high 10s above 6k rpm and around 10psi, as long is it will help my engine, I very rarely even go to 6k rpm.. except for when tuning)
thanks for the help in advance, just want some feed back on this before I take the plunge
