^^ You can get them cheaper in a lot of places. Hell, hit up E-bay and you should get a package cheaper.
As for how much boost, BOOST IS NOT A MEASUREMENT OF POWER :wallbash
Now 8psi on the 16g should be just fine on the stock rods. The stockers are generally said to hold up to 250whp (figure 225tq). I would agree with that number.
