You'll be fine. I ran 9 PSI with all the supporting mods and put down 428rwhp/433rwtq. Just make sure you get a good tune.

I've been running 9#'s for a long time. Car has over 70K on it and I drive it like I stole it. As it should be. No problems. It's all in the tune and not missing a shift and stuff like that.

Click to expand...

i bought the kb intercooled 9psi kit along with the kb big tube, tb and 90mm meter and it came with larger injectors and a smaller pulley. i was told by the salesman that with the options i picked a 10psi pulley would be needed to make certain that i make the full 9psi. car still has the stock internals, it ended up making 11psi and still no problems with the stock engine internals.

i sold the car to a friend that has a heavy foot, btw.

Do you have a tuner like SCt or anything yet? When I worked at Brenspeed they would have people ship their cars to him for dyno tunes, or you may want to just buy a tuner and a mail order tune until you can get it to a dyno. He has done tons of KB installs and tunes. Give him a call I am sure they can hook you up. 574-594-9559. They are in indiana. They also have a website with pictures of cars they have done, and a ton of parts and information. www.brenspeed.com

I don't know that much about the KB system... It just seems kinda pricey.
