18 psi with a raising rate of gain fuel pressure regulator is probably beyond the limit. At 16 psi, I was melting the ends of spark plugs doing that. With timing retard, and good fuel management, I think 25 psi would not be unreasonable. Not sure if I would go wild on compression or not, maybe 10.5
