about 4 with no intercooler piping :D
once break in is done, i'll see how it goes with 18, if it doesn't scare me enough then i'll try 21-22 on pump gas :D

peak boost on my stock APC box is about .7 BAR, or 10 psi
going to go manual boost control and hopefully bump it up to about 15 psi or so, on a (i believe) 9:1 compression ratio
if it was in peak condition, about 160 hp and 188 lb/ft bone stock.

I know. This boost thing is addicting already. I went through a whole tank of 94 by Sunday nite. hehe. Oh yeah apparently 7psi is good enough to take out a 5.0L :poosie::angel:
