Grizzle B,

Though your rotating assembly might be able to handle it, your compression is on the high side. Its better to run 9-8-7 comp which point you can run a higher boost the lower you go.

On pump gas, you can push about 4psi. Get some meth injection and an intercooler, go for 6!

... definitely consider going the meth injection route. Oh, and, if you can edit that title, please consider it; "Can I Blow" is a little too, umm, well, you figure it out LOL!
