You might want to invest in a fuel system if you run any more boost then that. My guess is it will be a hair on the lean side.

A 17:1 a/f ratio is a BAD thing

You could run 6-8psi if you had the proper fuel system and the car was tuned correctly. Dak's car suffered damage because it was hellaciously lean which lead to detonation.

Yet I daily drove (like I stole it) a D16Y8 on 8 psi with the stock fuel system for a year, and it still purrs like a kitten. (No cracks about auto theft now!) ;) Granted it wasn't a very big turbo, but it was also a D series engine and not a b-series (i.e. stonger bottom end). smile.gif

Ya I would go with a full fuel system, I had to have to whole block redone, just ask RL its been at his house for a month.. :(

I've heard the MSD BTM? works pretty well. You can set the ignition to retard per psi of boost. I think .5 is pretty popular, at least with the d-series folk.
