I never went over 16 psi on my old car... but then again I didn't blow the motor either. It seems like 17 psi is about the max that most people run (i.e. not Steve Kan or hardcore racers). I personally wouldn't push 19 psi... but I guess I'm a chicken! 
Be careful!

provided you have high enough octane gas and its all int he right state of tune, then you can run upto around 30psi without troubles
