I have a built motor with 4000 mi and some change. Im Wondering how much boost I can go up to safely with a 8.8:1 compression, 60lbs fuel injectors, on a true forged ported eaton. Right now I'm on 12psi making 5xx+ rwhp. Thanks for ya opinions.

You dont want to spin the Eaton up too much.. they produce a lot of heat. I'd say probably around 15# would be ok.. nothing really more than that. If you want to go with a better blower like a whipple.. then you can go up to 17# on pump gas safely.
