I assume 10psi, pump gas and no meth is a bad idea with a static cr of 10.8-11.1 (I forget exactly what I calculated the cr to be but I'm running the LS2 head gaskets)?

If I wanted to run pump gas and no meth what is the highest psi I should run?

10 is always the safe number I hear..... but with all things, eventually something will break if not built for it!

10 may not be a safe number at all depending on the tune. Ive seen built motors go with 7 psi.

anything will grenade with a tune hell bent for destruction....

Before this goes down the wrong path, if you plan to mod and hotrod something, plan to spend money and work on it some more. It comes with the territory if your gonna drive it like you built it too.

Is 10psi really possible on pump gas/no meth with a 10.8:1+ cr...even with a safe tune?

18K miles with blower set up, and most of them were earned miles. Although I now have METH, its really good insurance and a bit of power to be gained.
