Not at all, which is why I wont even think about going over 11psi (and even at 11 its not what you would call fail safe) until I upgrade the fueling system. I believe that with a good fueling system on a stock block there would be no reason you could go even higher.
I personally think you could see much higher numbers on a stock block with a larger fuel system. I think that many tuners are using timing to extract as much tq out of the car that the fuel allows (as tuned by listening for knock). But on the other end I believe these cars still have more to give up top provided you can supply enough fuel.
Again this is just my opinion and I will be testing this fact later on. Right now I am happy with the way the car is performing.
What would really be awesome is if a company was to come out with a ECU for us. I would like to see a fuel pressure vs boost (or fuel flow vs boost) table that would take all this into account to ensure you never run lean. But its appearing that for this market that just is not going to happen. I really wish it would. I would love a ECU controlled boost controller.
