Message	NO problem running 17psi. There is a slew (I think a slew is more than a dozen) of guys out here (So. CAL.) that thave been running 18,19,20 psi for hundreds of runs in the 1/4 mile. Sustained high boost at high loads and speeds is risky, but I don't know of one guy out here that has had lean damage done to his engine by running 17psi with an ECU and 100+ octane gasoline in short spurts (ie. the 1/4 mile). In fact, there are another "slew" of guys (myself included) that have run 17psi w/o the ECU, but used high octane fuel. My math says that 370cc injectors will support about 425 flywheel horsepower safely, again, with the proper fuel. IMHO, increased injector size when utilizing stock turbos is unnecessary, unless you are planning to upgrade the turbos. Just my .02$ :-] Mark
