47587, RE: 10psi from a 14b too much?

You get the bigger, shinier IC because it has to support more FLOW - not necessarily cool more.
What Jason is saying is that yes, 5psi is 5psi as far as mechanical compression goes (the engine having to compress it, and the possible resulting breakage), but its the CFM that makes the power. The more air mass you can cram in, the more fuel you can burn, the more power you cna make. The pressure is unimportant - its the CFM that matters.
