You can't go wrong with the Yella Terras unless you're going to really rev the engine up. They are on sale right now for $375.

I don't see the need to run that much lift on a boosted engine that is a street car for the most part. However, it's not a big deal either.

I'd be more worried about where the needle bearing are in the engine.

Please post the dyno chart that shows boost levels vs power levels.
I was wrong its a F1A. Missed the A part on the blower My tuner is getting the dyno graph when he gets back in town.
