Re: how much boost would b safe for my gsx You have a way to control the extra fuel? If you dont do that first, if you do id say maybe 20lbs? but id tune it first

Re: how much boost would b safe for my gsx Um, if you don't have a way to control the fuel (engine management), then don't put in the bigger injectors or turn up the boost. Engine management of some sort is absolutely necessary unless you have a 1g and swap to a 2g MAF and put a certain size injector in to compensate properly. I believe you can safely run about 16lbs of boost with stock injecters and upgraded pump.
By the way, I HIGHLY recommend getting a wideband air/fuel ratio sensor/gauge setup before trying to turn up the boost. That is the only real way to tell how much boost is too much without going to a dyno.

Re: how much boost would b safe for my gsx I think he meant put the stock injectors back on?? If that's the case, you definitely need to put the stock ones back on or you're going to be running stupidly rich. Don't ever change your injectors unless you have a way to compensate for their size difference to the ecu. It's not like dropping in a new air filter and closing the hood.

Re: how much boost would b safe for my gsx 16 is really the limit you should be pushing a 16g on stock injectors. When your car starts hitting fuel cut, you'll know it. Also, air/fuel gauges are pretty useless, you want to get a wideband to tune.
