Which one will fail first? Get them all right before you lay on the boost.

I wouldn't run more than 7psi on a kit I made and would probably just run 5. I have no intention of taking this motor close to its limits, she is my DD. I'd just like to get a little more power out of her so I know I can reliably beat a vette and Carrara from a roll.
I've beaten them both off the line but it was very close and had I even messed up a little off the line the race would have easily gone the other way.
Besides all that, I have a feeling I'm going to be running that rear mount kit and not making my own. Time will tell.
