I would stay with 9 PSI. 11 PSI is too much heat. I would suggest an aftercooler for the 11+ PSI route. Boost isnt much of a gauge of what the motor can handle as much as the torque/power you are making. Many guys run upwards of 350Whp+ on stock internals a good tune is key.

I agree with JP. I have run 11 psi. Currently running 9. Aftercooler with both, otherwise completely stock, including clutch. Header, motor mounts and intake of course. I find that 9 psi is a little more streetable than 11. Both benefit from an aftercooler, 11 more so than 9, because of the heat, as JP said.

yh true there are alot of people running stock internals while making 400+whp. I think there was an evo i saw once that was on stock internals at 569whp which is just stupid because if you throw a rod you could have a catastrophic failure and ruin a whole motor.

on sc rsxs though with the right tune it shouldnt be a big deal
