I wouldn't even run 10 without atleast a fuel pump or rewire.

I also woudln't try to push 10psi through the stock cats and intake. you are just making more heat in the engine.

I saw a grassroots article where they test the stock fuel system, said at 11psi it was maxed out, so I think 10 is the safe zone...

Even with the FCD, I believe 8PSI is a good safe zone.

Sorry if this is dumb question but is the a how to on what you guys call "rewiring" or are you just talking about grounding it correctly?

How are you guess increasing the boost?

My fuel pump is running out at 9psi above 6,000 rpms. I am sure I need to rewire it.
