7-8 PSI on a Z6 with 142k miles?
what do you guys think? i take pretty good care of my car, i dont think that there is major problems with it. Do you think my z6 can handle 7-8 psi on stock internals?

Yes a z6 can easily handle 7-8psi on stock internals. However, you need to make sure everything is in proper working cond. Compression and leakdown tests will be your best bet to make sure you have correct compression in all cylinders.
Just remember that its not so much the PSI, because between larger and smaller turbos, its a big difference. What turbo do you plan on running?

Im not sure on the proper CR, you will have to check HT or just wait for someone to fill in.

Also, as stated above you definitely need to change your timing belt, oil and water pump, and run 2 step colder NGK plugs. With 142K, you may also want to change you fuel filter if you havent done so already.
