    Run at least 10# all the time. It is safe. 12# on pump gas with a stock motor and a spot on tune is about the limit, but I ran 11# with a really rich tune for about a year no problems. You will save mucho time and fab going with a trick set up over fabing your own stuff, and his parts are quality and customer service is awesome... and yes i have his parts.

    I am going to be doing a twin set up with Rick as soon as I get the LS into the 90 model so I really suggest going that route.

    Your fuel system will need to be upgraded as well. With that size turbo, on a 6.0 running 10psi you will probably need 60# injectors and a bigger fuel pump. You might want to think about methanol injection to help with IAT's and add a little more hp.
