Depends on how much boost you want to run. You will also need a new map sensor, (that can actually read the boost) and the appropriate programming for the PCM as well.

Yeah, I think about 7 to 10 is the max you can do without getting serious with the bottom end.

According to what I read and seen (when I say seen I mean like 2 5 minutes YouTube videos) 10 is maximum

Good judgement is a consequence of experience. Experience is generally the consequence ob bad judgement. I am a PRIME example of this.

I like to find the boundaries. For example I know a Chrysler 9.25 will take a lot of abuse, but apparently power braking it for 8 minutes while you are leaking gear oil out of the pinion seal and running low will trade it out. I was told that but now I know
