Varies aplication to aplication. Really depends on the condition of your engine.

i did 13 psi reliably then 15 psi for about 100 miles. gonna try a tune for 18 psi on 103 octane. if my timing was more retarded or i was using 100-110 octane i think it would have never blown at 15. i know the timing blew it by reading the rod bearing marks. I just bent a rod and cracked a piston. i did not take a chunk out the side of the piston i believe this shows it was not leaned out. my goal is to get 240-250whp on cast internals then switch to forged after i know my tune is good, this way if anything bad happens i dont whipe out the crank. good luck..
