How much boost

I have Intake, DP, Catback and am about to install a power FC with a newer base map. How much boost can i safely run on this setup? I was thinking about running 12 psi.

12 should be ok, just make sure the spilt is close to 15 in the boost area

The spilt is the delay in the trailing coil firing,

There is two igniton tables, one is Leading other is Trailing and the spilt is the difference.

Leading = 15
Trailing = 0

Spilt 15

Not necessarily 0 and 15, but the difference between the two is 15. =D
