safe psi is higher than 6 if you ahve the intercooler. Im running 10psi but some are running 12 and 14 psi no problems. On a procharger though it makes more hp most of the time than the other s/cs so you can run at less boost and make more power.

2. yes.
3. at the wheels or the crank? really...yes to both.
4. I have heard tons of bad things about procharger recently, but the paxton is basically the vortech with a slightly different head unit, so i would say the paxton is reliable.

1. depends on the tune/specific setup, but if you are using it as a daily driver, might as well stay under 10 just for safety.
2. yes.
