My question is simple: how high, given a good tune, do you think this engine can be boosted for daily driving? I'm hoping it'll love 20psi (again, assuming there is a GOOD tune!) but I'm planning on restricting it to 16psi just to play it safe. Then again the thought of that extra 4psi is really tantalizing, lol....what would you guys feel safe running this 420a at?
