Dude......

You won't stop, till you go pop! Huh?

Got all your reliability mods?

Got water injection? Helps you run much higher boost and will keep you from going lean and !POP!

Got a great, no AWESOME tuner w/dyno?

Got a Viper/Bosche/Cosmo fuel pump? <--my guess

Give a complete list of your mods so the gurus on this forum can help you out.

for 24 psi you will most definately need race gas, I wouldnt really run over 18 PSI on pump gas if i were you, you are risking detonation.

You may want to run a upgraded radiator if you havnt already done so.

Serch around for a "Y-Band" Air/Fuel engine analyzer... and make dame sure your A/F ratios remain about 10 : 1 under boost.... Unless you're partial to driving a grenade with the accellerator being the safety pin. The analyzer has a hand-held " commander display" like the size and shape of the PFC's, plugs into you cigarette lighter for power, with an O2 sensor thats placed in your exhaust tip. You can also hookup the O2 sensor into the D/pipe if desired... Then, you'll be capable of monitoring your Air/Fuel ratios dynamically (as you drive). Cost? About the same as a PowerFC but still half the price of reman engine. My 2 cents
