if you only have a greddy kit with 440cc injectors and a pro tune then after 8psi you run the risk of running out of fuel. not good.

No boost is safe boost. Don't boost if you're not ready for the "when ish' happens" scenario.

Yup. Once you modify expect something to go wrong.
Happy boosting!

without a fuel pump those will only take you to 8psi about 250whp

Even with a fuel pump those 440 won't do much.

no such thing as safe boost, with boost youll drive more aggressively be harder on the car and in turn expose yourself to more accidents

You don't really have a choice. You're trying to run double the hp the car was made for, ish will happen, ish will break....it's the nature of the beast. Are there precautions to take, yes, still things happen over time. Don't do it if you aren't prepared for the when ish happen scenario.

my car just blew after 4 months of 8 psi "safe" boost its not a kit, but its made of 3 different kits. everything was perfect till a piston ring blew. just finish my build last week but still having some problems. when you boost your car prepare for anything. i fixed my motor, then belt snapped, i fixed that, then tensioner snapped, fixed that, then waterpump broke with the tensioner but i didnt notice till after i installed the new tensioner lol.
