Dude, CA & SR create around 10-11 psi in stock form. This can be upped to
14-15 psi if your fuel system is up to it, but you gotta keep the air cool
as it comes out otherwise your just busting your gut and pushing the turbo
hard for no reason. It's all in "THE BOOK!" You can create 30psi if you
wanna, but you gotta have the fuel system, plumbing (intercooler and
exhaust), cooling systems to back it all up or else your gunna start blowing
stuff up.
The book tells you all about the theory of it, explains EFI vs blow thru
carbs vs draw thru carbs systems and everything. The book is your bible to
what your doing!!! I'd just be quoting from the book if I were to tell you
much more.
Are you using EFI or carbys? Do you plan on making up your own manifolds?
