pretty sure the most boost you can run is 10psi before it cuts out.

i got 157bhp @ 10psi but thats with a kent cam as well.

150bhp @ 10psi is about right for standard rst's

some people say the late rst's can run up to 12psi not sure how much truth their is in that, maybe another rs myth it all depends on the condition of your engine etc but if thats a fresh engine then i dont see why it wont make decent power
