You could get away with 12psi with an excellent tune. You might need to run some octane booster or better gas to be safe, but 12 would work. Now 13 is pushing it. What altitude are you at?

Run 10-11 psi. That would be ideal. Just make sure your air fuel ratio under load isn't higher than 12.0 to 1.
