whats your base compression ratio gonna be? thats the biggest part
the other important part is keeping your air fuel ratio in a safe place

Jesus, you spent a lot of money. Wish I could do that. How much did that setyou back?? That should be good enough for any amount of boost.

if you got the 8:1 pistons with eagle rods then they are capable of handeling 30 pounds of boost and a 300 shot of nitrous

you will be fine on whatever you decide to throw at it, but make the gap on the rings just a smidge sloppy, say .002 or so loose.

to compare:
buddies talon running 42 pounds of boost and a 10o direct shot on his built motor, not saying they are the same motor here, just an example. like he says, it is all in the tune. i would imagine you will be happy with 28 pounds and a 75 shot to start. in a neon with weight redux, you would be close to a 10.5 if not a litle lower.
