I have a 95 3sgte that will be going into my car very soon and I was wondering what the max boost pressure is that the engine can run on. I though I saw somewhere that you can run the engine on 15psi comfortably and that is the max boost, but maybe I am wrong. Also is it safe to run the engine on 93 octane or do you have to use 103?

as long as you have proper intercooling and 93 octane, you should be able to run 15psi. You may find that on some cars you can run more then that or less. It all depends on what your a/f ratio looks like and if everything is working like it should. The only real way to find out what YOUR motor can do, is to slowly turn the boost up on a dyno while keeping that a/f ratio in a safe range.
