Boost what can run without IC
As I assume many of you don't have ICs.
With me running 92/93 octane gas what is the maximum boost I could run. I don't want to experiment without asking and confirming

On the stock fuel system , 10-12 psi should be perfectly harmless.

it won't get hot....
I'm going to run 10 PSI for now and it's just now starting to get a tad cooler in the mornings and afternoons. Once "southern winter" comes around I'm gonna boost 12. Then back to 10 in the summer

Everybody in the tuning world says 8 is the max that is safe without an intercooler (that you can be run all the time). Of course I believe this too but nobody on this site listens to me. You can get away with maybe 10psi in the cooler months with no issues but other then that I wouldn't suggest running 8psi for more then a short duration.

But once you look at it in the big picture how often will you actually be running peak boost in normal driving

good point but you could be tempted with all that boost . i know i would. i try to keep it low just in case.
