Question here, along with many other upgrades i am considering... I am curious if anyone knows for certian how much boost the stock S281 SC engine can take on pump gas with out changing out the internals with forged parts, etc. I am considering swapping in a slightly smaller pulley then getting the ECU reflashed to push more boost....as the maximum i can get when i mash the gas pedal is about 6 psi...i am hoping to get into the ballpark of 9 Psi with a pulley swap.... I just dont want to make an expensive mistake and blow my engine! :cry: thanks! :D
