Default High boost #'s

I'm contemplating switching to a jackshaft blower. I want to run higher boost #'s. I'm finding myself having more fun building it then racing it. That make any sense??? It gets street driven more than anything. I'm running 14-15psi on the front inlet and have thoughts of more. I've been saying for the last 6 months that I'm done with it and will leave it alone. With more boost will come some type of failure. Should I leave it alone or go for more?

Also comes higher IAT temps. Will I be making alot more hp? Or just more boost, more heat, and alot less timing? Maybe at this stage it would be better to give it a small shot of NOS? Or stop and save the money for something lighter? It is like a sickness................I can remember the day I bought it and drove it for two weeks. I said,"just going to get a custom tune". Then exhaust....headers.....cam.....forged engine......built trans.....blower.....Oh **** when will it stop?

You need counseling from someone well versed in dealing with this type of illness..... Do it before it's too late

idk your complete setup, but what about better heads or something of that sort? something to make your setup more efficient rather than just turning up the boost

Never dynoed it yet. I guess as soon as I'm close to getting it finished I start something else on it. Did dyno it stock 255/250 and with cam/headers 335/340
