13-15 PSI
94 Octane
17 * Timing
11.1 A/F ratio was in the high 10's but don't mind rich = safe

Not necessarily, G_Smooth. Rich can cause KR, too. Been there. I leaned myself out a TON, and lost KR, ran more timing, got better gas mileage, had better throttle response, and the car was measurably quicker.

Your absolutely correct moving my AF ratio from 11.1 to 11.5 and timing from 17 to 18 is fine on pump gas. At this point I feel my cars is quick enough even running just 13psi (15 PSI is stupid on street radials) and dont feel I need to push things to squeeze more power on a street driven car.

Yes I have an IC

I'm running 12lbs on 91 octane, air to air intercooler. I've had my car tuned and I still don't do WOT. I sped up to lane change today in the rain and I peeled out for a good 50 feet w/ a little over half throttle. The turbo will kill me if I let it....

What is the max amount of psi the stock pistons can take? I was told 10 psi was too much, but he didn't own a GP.

12?

Where do U get the 109 unleaded? Sunoco?

I run 17-18psi, 17*, shell 93 for street setup. Still too much for street but if I go lower it starts to get out of efficeint range. I also think the N2 enrichment may be hocus pocus but my car responded extremely well to it so I have stuck with it.

Someone else said its about flow not psi and that is correct.
