I roll with lots of Honda boys, ring-lands seem to be the weaker point often times with compression ratios lowered & all else OEM. This is with simple tuning, not 100s of hours on the dyno that we can't afford.
Higher compressions & turbo with-not-so-perfect timing, tuning & fueling can get hazzardous quickly.
8psi or less *can* be *safe*-ish, just keep the fueling right....q.e.d. higher flow pump & related FPR, possible injectors & piggyback

plan to run 7 psi max...not looking for more as it's front wheel drive...why am i wanting to do it...well I have two redtops..one is on a stand and I have most of the parts needed...if I can't get 240 out of is there is something wrong given the pistons and the rods that are fitted to this engine..the maf should be able to deal with the fueling as the emu the timing...going to fit uprated head bolts and cooler plugs...also an intercooler...these're a stong engines...recon I could run a 50 shot nos with no problems at all and that would give me the same...thanks for your thought..keep them coming
