with the stock fuel injection, maybe 5psi? if you put more injectors on it, and the proper intercooling 15+psi isnt a problem

I'm pushing 8psi on my SE block with a super safe tune. I plan on turning it up to 10 or 12. It put down 247 to the wheels on a dyno with a beat up stock S4 turbo

I'm from Louisville, Kentucky. I just went over to go look at my car yesterday. I looks great! I had it painted black because the red was faded on top and clear coat was flaking all over. I looks super good they were just starting to polish her up with rubbing compound last night so it should be done in a few days completely.
