if you want to keep it mostly stock and reliable i wouldnt go over 8 psi, probably more like 6-7

 

 

Thanks alot i must have missed that when i was searching around that helped me understand a little more of what i might be getting into lol so dont run over 8 psi then u think i would put down decent number running that much boost?

Well it doesn't need to even be a GSR. It all depends on what your definition of fast is. I've got a friend who made 280hp with a bone stock B-16 with a log manifold and 57trim. Another friend made 301hp on a stock B16 with a Crack fest manifold and a Cummins FF turbo. Another Kid made 360hp stock GSR with a 60-1 on E85. Just depend what kinda numbers you want to chase down.
