Ordered - ARIAS forged pistons and Eagle forged connecting rods

Hi gang....so I ordered forged rods and pistons and the shop is gonna do the motor and retune. Question...

I'm thinking I want to go to 10 PSI....is this setup good enough for that amount of boost? I'm at 8 PSI atm.

Cheers.

I've been running 10-12 psi on stock internals. I think 10 psi would be very safe with the forged internals.

Yeah, good clarification. I automatically think turbo when I think psi. Not sure what the supercharger guys have been running. Good luck!

Thanks. I don't see why 10 PSI wouldn't be safe but some people are like "nuhhh don't do it." But i don't think anyone has upgraded to forged rods and pistons with a stillen sc setup yet. There's a dude running an e85 tune and 500 whp/396 wtq but no upgraded internals.
