yes, I used the search and can't find anything.

I was curious, i'm gonna be running a S13 blacktop with a big hybrid skyline intercooler, and a greddy boost controller. I was curious, what is the max amount of boost that can be ran on pump gas without detonation? I've heard 10 psi, 12psi, 14psi, just about everything. I know the injectors can only handle 14psi, but can you do 14psi on pump gas?

Thanks....

for the past couple weeks i've been running 12 psi with the timing accidentally fully advanced and i had no audible detonation. The car was really fast tho!

So with timing slightly backed off I can run 12 with no problem? How about 14?

I only plan on boosting up to 12-14 specifically for racing. Otherwise I'm gonna run stock boost.
