#13933, "highest psi to aim for with pump gas"


          

What is the highest psi you guys will boost with pump gas, given that you have built up the internals and have all the engine management computers hooked up?

K, I was thinking about a 20G, but I will be using pump gas 99% of the time, so all the extra pressure vs a 16G is pretty useless if I will max out on 18-20 psi on pump gas. By the way, anyone have hp/tq #'s for 20 psi?

Well it depends on compression mainly, too much boost engine get too hot because of compression and it'll start to dentonate. I don't know any actual number though.

you shouldnt run more than 15psi on pump gas to be safe... Unless you like pulling your head... When i didnt know jack about proper engine care, i would run 20-23psi on pump gas, she didnt blow, but I dont do that anymore just for a piece of mind.(I mean, what are you gonna do with a SVT cobra or SS beside you wanting to play and you aint got no race gas)

18-20 psi is safe with a super 20G turbo and 93 octane gas with "proper" tuning. I make about 324hp to the front wheels at 18 psi with moderate timing retard. (I haven't tried anything over an average of 18 psi on pump gas, so I am nto sure how close that is to detonation, but I didn't get any.)

bring it on............
