PA raising boost?

I want to know if I can safely raise the boost to 10 or 11psi (before the fuel cut off kicks in) with the stock fuel pump and ecu.

oh wow thanks aaron I thought it was 12 for some reason, so if I get the rtek 2.1 and pick the 550cc/720cc setting would it be safe then to do that? of course I would get the fuel pump by then.

right. and the fuel cut kicks in at 8.6 psi on a stock ecu.


The rtek 2.1 has presets for 4 x 720cc and you can run larger if you trim back the fuel accordingly. I think the 2.1 has +/- 40% or so in the fuel corrections now. So you can run 1000cc's if you need to and trim back some. There is quite a bit of talk around here of the rtek 2.1 and numerous success stories, 95nracer is at 350whp at 14psi with the stock AFM.....


anyways go to the digital tuning website and read up on the rtek. search around here for more info....
