Default RE: is anyone running 10 lbs of boost or better

The safest way to run 10psi is to have a motor built to handle 10psi.

I've been getting away with 11psi on stock internals for no other reasons than luck and my conservative driving style. Granted, I have my rev limiter set to 5K rpms because I don't trust my right foot. I also use Red Line synthetics in everything which I think helps. As far as my fuel system, I run 36lb injectors with a K/B "boost-a-pump", stock fuel pump and fuel rails. I can't help you with the coil pack question as I don't have them. I run a K/B "boost-a-spark" with all the factory ignition. I run Denso Iridium IT20's for plugs which are slightly cooler than the factory plugs.

I wouldn't be afraid of 9psi on a PI motor so 10psi on a non/pi motor which has less compression might be fine if kept in check.

JMO

Good Luck

I run 10lbs with a KB blower, 42lb injectors and a KB boost-a-pump on the stock fuel pump.
