Ok so I have done some research and I'm aware that I will need to ditch my 370's, s14 maf, and get a retune. I am also aware that trying for 300 whp on stock internals is risky, however I do have a jwt and plan on getting a safc and getting it retuned for the tomei 770's and z32 maf. With that being said, is pushing the boost up on a t25 (was thinking to 12 psi and see where that gets me) a horrible idea. I have read about compressor maps, heat soak, and much more that seems to be a bit over my head at times so I figured I would ask you guys. Btw hopefully I will have my dyno numbers posted tom for my current 9psi setup

I personally wouldnt push a t25 past ~10 or so psi. I have done it on my SR, and my hotpipe was untouchable at 14 psi at the strip after a run. It was a cold night so my IC soaked most of it away, but im sure my IATs were high.

350 hp is pretty much a safe limit on stock internals. Its all in the tune man. A JWT tune is ok, but if your going that rout install a SAFC and get a dyno tune for it. This will optimize their tune for your car and make sure your not running to rich as JWT tunes are known to do. I personally would go with Enthalpy over JWT any day. To many stories about JWT tunes running super rich.
