    My uncle says 20 psi in a 4cylinder engine or anything above 400 hp in a 4 cylinder engine would blow the engine? That true?

    I don't always run 30 psi. I save that level for special runs.
    I have multiple switches connected to different BCS's. All off = 17 psi, one on = 20 psi, two on = 25 psi, three on = 30 psi.

    Getting fuel to the engine is my number one problem now.
    I'm working on the solution.

    :D
