Isn't it funny how the word around the Internet is that the 7A-FE can only take 7 PSI with stock internals safely? That's BS...my friend just started boosting 10 on mine and he has put over 500 miles on it and the engine is fine...plus all the times I boosted 12 PSI on stock injectors with the broken piston trying to break the other ones, LOL. The engine can take the beating! =P
EDIT: The auto tranny pisses me off...it's fine in the beginning but then drops RPM too much on the top and the boost level decreases. I wish the tranny would shift later and the redline on the engine was more than 6,2xx. =( This post has been edited by OOBE: Jul 25, 2005 - 12:00 PM -------------------- |

With Auto trannies, a lot less boost is lost between shift since the auto tranny keeps constant load on the engine. As for the max boost... it's all about tuning. Keep the fuel going... you can turn up the boost a ways before the engine blows... but just don't get boost greedy. ;] -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
