Would it be safe to run 12-14lbs of boost on a stock hypereutectic bottom end with about 35k on it? I want to run more than 9lbs of boost but not sure if it's safe, anybody who's running boost on a hyper motor or has any opinions let me know what ya think.

personally i would just get forged. if you were to run hypers with that much boost the tune would need to be very conservative because the hyper pistons are less forgiving. but if your going to run a really conservative tune, your going to loose hp so why bother running that much boost. youd be better off running 9psi with a more agressive tune

I would think you would be really pushing your luck. If your tune was even slightly off I bet it would go wrong real fast.
