Default Trying to run 17-18psi and driving daily???

I'm installing an alky control kit and thinking about just putting the smallest pulley on there and tuning it for that which would be 17-18psi. I'm running 13psi now with no meth and driving it daily. I'm thinking of driver it daily with 18psi. What do you think? Good or Bad deal and why.

You might burn through tires pretty quick. It all depends on how heavy your foot is. Running 13 psi or 20 doesnt matter if you stay out of boost. I say go for it

Wow, 18psi with a front drive would be impressive.

When you had the engine built, why didn't you upgrade to ARP head studs?
