Default Choosing a Kb?

Well before I buy one of these blowers, I was wondering how and what i need to make my car run "safely" without killing my engine.

Seriously? Thats really cool. I want one but don't want to blow the waranty. Do they make a Kenne Bell for GT's and if they do how much does it cost?

6-8 psi is completely safe with a good tune

One says 14 PSI that adds 262 HP to it. Thats my HP doubled. I would get it, but is it safe? you say 6-8 is safe, well 14? That would even be worth the money if it was. Thanks.

If you ran 14, you'd need a higher octane fuel
or lower compression or octane+cooler of some sort
