Im not F/I yet but i can tell you that your not going to get that high on a stock block. Most F/I kits can develope that amount of boost pressure. Search and look at sams 800 hp at 20psi but for those that have stock internals it just isnt possible to get high psi on high compression pistons without bending, breaking, cracking, ect.

PSI [boost] is pretty meaningless WITHOUT the interior plenum air temperature as each 11F changes the mass density 1% and each PSI corresponds with a theoretical 6.8% density increase at 70F.
