9.9 on a 90+ degree day with 85% humidity and it was 106 in the dyno room. I expect to see 10-10.5 lbs of boost as it gets cooler.

How much boost are you getting in say 85 degree weather? How on earth are you getting 11.5 on stock pulley? You live in Iceland?

Don't know, I live in New Jersey. S/C and meth kit was installed last Friday. Tuned by Doug at ECS on a fairly cool day 75ish out very low humidity and it came in at 686 RWHP at 11.5 labs of boost. I have the dyno sheet to prove it. Doug said that its pretty normal with stock exhaust.

As a matter of fact, I was shocked and concerned about having too much boost and the engine internals being able to handle the boost.

With the STOCK internals, I PERSONALLY do not feel comfortable (long-term endurance and survivability of the engine) in running more than 8 pounds of boost, regardless if using METH and/or or E85. That is just me though. I know that plenty of people are running 12 - 13 pounds though with METH on stock internals. Tuning is key though, but there is only so much that the non-forged stock pistons/internals can take.

With the 3.47" pulley and Ti head unit the car made 625/548 with a very mild tune. Only 9 degrees of timing and the knock sensors still enabled.
