Dont quote me on this but I think 9psi becauseabove 9psi you need to change internals to handle the added power. Ever thought about upgrading your intake?

He's talking about the intake manifold, not the bottom end. There is no safe rating for the intake manifold, they crack because of the coolant temperature difference. I think 14psi is fine.
