Re: O *****
it depends how much boost you will run, i think 1 psi = 7 - 10 hp

Re: O *****
I'm not going to make any claims or esitmates -- we'll just have to waity and see. I'm planning on running 6psi for a long time to see how the motor handles it. If it has no issues, might take it up to 10psi.
