yeah, id say 12psi to be safe, until you get some fuel system and ecu upgrades, then you'd be safe going up to 14psi.

i was about to say 13-14psi,
with a decent fuel upgrade (injectors, pump)
and a decent ecu (apexi pfc)

then you would be able to run about 17-18psi

about the rocker arm stoppers
what kind of driving do you do ? just street driving ? (hooning =P)
if you're going to take it to any track event (drags, drift, circuit, skidpan)
i recommend you getting the rocker arm stoppers incase you overrev, it's a cheap upgrade anyway
