Ive been running 12/13 boost on my stock automatic 01, 90 maf, 42 injectors, 70mm tb, dragon intake & spacer with a mail in diablo chip for 1k miles. I am going soon to get a tune and dyno thou. I have not had any problems it all and can easily spin the tires (now toyo 275's in the rear) at 40 mph.

Are you actually running the 12psi or 13psi pulley or are you just seeing that much psi with a lower pulley? What octane gas are you running? Did you have to install the Boost-A-Spark at those boost levels like the KB website recommends?

Is it true that the 99-00 windsor blocks can handle more boost than the romeo due to the strength of the block and the compression ratio being lower?

No

What kind of issues.There is always something that comes up with a blower car..
The want for more power is the main one that causes issues.

Did you have to install the Boost-A-Spark at those boost levels like the KB website recommends?

It depends on the amount of boost.I seen 18+ psi on my old vortech and had no spark issues.But i do have to install on my kb setup(15+ psi)..

I'm hoping I can get away with doing the 11psi pulley. This is maxing out the "octane formula" I keep hearing about with a KB. Or for the 1.7L at least. 1.5 octane higher for each psi higher pulley. So 11psi would work out to 94 octane I'm already "close" to the edge.. why not be right on it

All blowers create heat .How the car is tuned for it is another ..
If you want 14+ psi better plan on a forged shortblock.93 can make some good numbers.I made mine on 93.

it is going to take so long, cause im broke, and im trying to build this car right the first time. (hard thing to do) blower is going to be the absolute last thing.
