I would get a Vortech and turn the boost up to about 12 psi. Everyone says this and says that about too much boost. I have been running 12 psi for over 2 months hitting 12 psi everyday and nothing is broken and the car idles like stock. You can break the engine just as easy with 8 psi if it detonates. The SVO is a nice choice, but my only problem is it can't be intercooled. During the Summer after a few blasts, the intake temperature must be through the roof. I plan to add an Intercooler and turn the boost up to have 12 PSI of intercooled boost which will have the car run much more efficient and you can add back timing & lean the fuel mixture to make even more power. We will see how important an intercooler is when the Prochargers start hitting the scene.
