thanks for your replies
I have been running 22 psi for about two years and not had any problems - that being said though i don't even give it full throttle.
I have a steel bottom end, "stage 3" head - larger valves and a standard cam. bigger inter-cooler and just fitted but not tested an aqua mist kit.
It is still a mfi head, and i havent changed the injectors but i am all ears for suggestions ...
As for the straight cut box - i think i am sold it sounds like it will be a good investment.
Do you know what brand of box he had?
