Ahhh, ummmm...500@ the wheels is still alot Bill. But, yes, the ante is ever-increasin on these Gen3's.

The occasional Tundra or Titan comes to mind.

you'll probably be there at 12 lbs and 93 octane if you have a good tune. 500 should be a good safe number to achieve and reach all your goals.

i think 10 psi is fairly safe as long as your running a rich tune

I'd stop it at 10lbs on a stock untouched mill for longevity purposes. Do you have a trustworthy tuner near you?

+1 on the IDC reading?
