Default Timing+Boost+Octane

OK this thread is for people to post up what PSI, timing and octane they are running. Ive been scratching my head trying to figure how hard I can push my 5.3 with 93 pump gas so hopefully this thread will help. When I had the truck tuned it was tuned for 9psi and 16 degrees of timing. I recently turned it up to 13psi to beat a modded 5.0 and I was wondering how safe it is. I know I shouldnt have done it without running a log to see if I have any KR but it ran like a scalded dog. AFR was right at 11.0. How much boost/timing can I safely run on pump 93 octane? No meth right now and E85 is out of the question in Louisiana.

You bumped it up to the same psi as I did trying for 6's in the 1/8th. I was only at 12.5 degrees of timing on 93 though.

I take it your sig needs updating...

What I would like to see is a screen shot of somebody's log showing nothing but RPM, Boost, and Timing from idle to redline.

I don't think any 2 combos will be the same - intake temps, compression ratio, and where the timing is plays a factor in how much you can run.
