Boost pressure is actually irrelevant..

Id say so, looking at your power output, yes.

30thou is near as dammit 0.75mm Andy

Std is about 0.8mm i think and thats just slightly too much

Rich,
Only cylinder peak pressures are relevant as one ported head will flow more air at 17psi than a std non ported head as a very very simple example.
