Stock D16Z6 will take about 200HP reliably but not for more than 50k or so at more than 6 or 7psi.

It's all in engine management, which will provide you w/ fuel management, proper timing, and tuning capability. From there the sky is the limit. If your trying to run your factory ecu w/ vafc "hack" I'd keep it around 7 psi.

lies i've been running 8 daily for a whole freaking year and i'm fine. Just get to a dyno and make sure your A/F is good. I've known people to run 8-10 daily for over two years before any damage.
