When I got mine one of the first things I did was install a boost gauge. It read between 10 and 11psi....The stock level is 10psi but I I believe some people actually turn theirs up to 12 safely but probably shouldn't run it more than that.

10 for bone stock engiens. try taking a look at wade's homepage though, there are some people running 12psi on stock engiens with 11-11.5:1 A/F ratios (Stock power fc runs leaner then our stockers)

good luck
