I would say somewhere between 5 and 50 psi....

Seriously though, I've been wondering the same thing. This plastic manifold just doesn't look trusworthy.

^^I agree. I have seen many people running 15-20 psi and their intakes held up just fine

edit: it's the nitrous you have to worry about with the plastic intake

im starting to lean towards keeping it stock for now anyways. hopefully the trick flow will be out soon and live up to the expectations everyone has of it. i will let you know what the engine builders say tomorrow about it
