What is the maximum psi boost you can run with a twin turbo system and still use pump gas?

the max i would run with pump gas would be 14 PSI. but it also depends on the tune. you are safe with 10 PSI

How cheap is good race gas? Im talking like the gas you would use to run 15-22 psi. What octane do you have to have?

get a boost cooler and run 50/50 water/methanol. that'll boost your octane a good bit.

As much as you can before you start detonating. It's hard to tell. Are you going to have a meth/alcohol injection, intercooler, nitrous anything like that. The cooler you make the intake charge the more PSI you can run.
