i know this question has been asked before but all i can find is an snswer related to the powerdyne. I just put on the FFF turbo kit w/ FMU stock injectors, whalbro 255, msd dis 4, msd wires, blaster coils. My question is how much boost can i run safely without a timing retard controller like the crane or MSD one. Everything i have read says 6-7 PSI is the safe amount without a timing retard controller, but this was stated for a non intercooled powerdyne. Now since i have a FFF with intercooler and from what i have heard turbos tend to flow more CFM. Also in relation to this what would be the max for my stock injectors. I bought the zeitronix wideband with boost and egt. so i guess i could just push it till i see that i'm running lean, but i would rather not.

Re: safe boost level?
id say 5 max, with stock injectors.
With Bigger injectors and a lower compression, you could run as much as your heart desires. -
Re: safe boost level?
or as much as your internals desire, you will blow a head gasket or snap a rod, chip a piston, break a crank even. I think the most anyone has ever run on the 3800 is 17-18 psi. with forged rods and pistons.Comment

Re: safe boost level?
i highly doubt the crank would break before any of those
Hell, I bent the Hell out of my rod and it didnt throw the crank off at all2k2 camaro, K&N, SLP whisper lid, Konis, AEM, HP Tuners, Angel eyes/Halos, CF SS ram air hood, 4.10s, Zexel Torsen, UMI SFCs, CrossFire, BFGs, Gatorback, Catco, Flows, and TLC! DONT feed the Trolls!Comment

Re: safe boost level?
they use Tial waste gates and they give you the springs, I think.
and I know snapping a crank is very unlikely, but it is just a mkinor possibility i threw out there.Comment
