Very nice for a simple bolt on. Guys keep in mind the boost levels alone will not kill a shortblock. Its the potential for detonation and most of that potential can be mitigated with a great tune. With that said, I will tell you that 10psi and 10+ compression is RIGHT ON THE EDGE of what you can get away with on 93 Octane in our cars. And that is with a conservative timing curve. Hope you are logging the hell out that car to keep an eye on PT/WOT knock retard. I would only see 1-2deg KR at 9-10 psi, however once I downsized the pulley a bit and kicked it up to 12psi I saw a rise in the KR (4-5deg) that required race gas at the track to keep things in check.
Not that I am recommending 10psi on with the relatively thin ringlands we have in our cars (read: quite a gamble here) but I would have no problem seeing our motors live a long life if it has a impeccable tune and a properly set up water/meth inj and perhaps most importantly, someone who can recognize when they are having detonation issues.
Good luck and hope to see you in the 11's man.
