u can do 9 psi turbo... not recomended but its posible... i've seen sixers having a 11psi T and w.o having probs...

i wouldnt go past 9psi with s/c or T

u will need some upgrade in fuel system tho..

very different



10psi is as far as other take there car
its harder for a single port to hit 450rwhp then a split port


at 10psi the 98 and lower make like 260rhwp
the 99-04 make 330rwhp

i wouldnt boost past 10psi.and even then its kinda pushing it with an old motor. i'd go with 7-8 psi

you'll need bigger fuel injectors and a fuel pump to surpass 4.4psi
