Was only trying to get your attention on that post, before you hurt your motor. You would be breaking the most elementry rule to not "over boost"
You say Help/Advice ?
On this site you may get as much as you want.
However, don't forget the "Search' feature on this site, as probably every imaginable question has been ask one time or another. Much can be found in the ole archives of this site or the GN/T-Type site.
Now, its nice to here your engine is still together.
Once you learn more about these cars you will find out you don't run 19 lbs of boost on a stock setup with pump gas. There are many many factors to consider but your post led me to believe you were stock except for your fuel pump. You will need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator to go with that pump so you can turn the pressure up with the boost. Or maybe you can get a performance chip for the fueling issues. You need a scan tool to tell you whats going on in the knock and air/fuel ratio Department.
If your beginning with this car then start with the above advice.
My knowledge comes from owning my car since it was new. etc. etc. I have paid for motor work and gone through more combinations than I care to admit.
In short there is a ton of research material in the archives I mention to get you from "mild to wild", if I may quote from the Buick gurus.
good luck,
Greg
