Max boost on otherwise stock stuff?

Post by shtbxr22 »

If I put a MBC, and boost guage on my 92 SS, will the results be worthwhile to run 12-12.5 psi to stay away from fuel cut? Anyone?

Yeah, you should be ok...but you really don't wanna run more than 10 psi unintercooled...


On the same note...I have an AWIC for sale for $30 :D

How about the max boost the stock bottom end can handle? Can it take all a VF-22 can give it?

It can take a vf22 and spit it out. The stock bottom end can handle well into the 20+psi range from all but the largest of the large turbos...
