Boost

Blown2000GT · July 18th, 2009, 05:13 PM

Okay im new here and was wondering how much boost my car will handle without blow by or breaking anything currently am running about 10-12psi...it has DSS Pro lite Pistons, DSS H-beam connecting rods, Refinished stock cfrankshaft, New engine bearings, ARP Head studs, and ARP Crankshaft studs. It currently has 61,000 miles but all these internals were put it around 30k miles...

hard to say. depends on how well taken care of it is. i'd say you'd be good to 14 or so lbs of boost. what kinda #'s are you making right now?

The previous owner i believe had it tuned at 10psi and it was makin 400rwhp...but im gonna get a better tune.

It depends on compression, octane, timing, and IATs. Sometimes more boost and less timing will make less power. IATs are a huge player in this equation. Pump gas is another major limiting factor.
