Thats about where I've stopped for now. Not sure if I'd push it any further. I actually turn it down from 16 unless its night/cold out and someone fast needs a race...

Lol no need for discipline when the boost controller is within reach all the time.

Hah no, not necessarily...its just a different ball game going part throttle with a turbo setup. Cause you don't want to accelerate as much, but boost still builds and smashes its way past a partially opened throttle blade and makes you go fast anyway lol. The sweet spot between accelerating and not accelerating is much smaller than a blower or NA. But the turbos start sounding angry when you partially load them...lots of surge

I will be doing a LY6 over this winter in my 69 Camaro just because I already have one. The only mods will be stock ring gaps opened up , LS9 cam ( I know there are better cams out there, but I already have it. So F it, I'll give it a try) , ARP head bolts (also have them) and double springs. I plan on running 20+psi with race gas and as high as possible on 93 octane and meth.
