18psi is it safe on 92 octane

AND valve springs, timing set, clean the crud out of the oil pickup, weld the drivers side header, radiator, thermostat, check valves, correct PCV, rubber vacuum lines, etc....


tuning the boost up to a predetermined magic number is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down on the list

Extra grounds and a good alternator...

Cleaning the intercooler will sure help, may never have been cleaned!

Spring cleaning...
All vacuum lines replaced...check valves replaced...
adjustable regulator
fuel pump, hotwire, tt chip, translator, lt1/ls1 maf,
fp gauge/oil pressure gauge/ knock gauge boost gauge
scanmaster...
Do the 1st 2 before anything...
