Just wondering about how much boost i could run on my stock fuel system? I am at 14 psi right now with a couple sporadic single counts. But i want MORE power LOL....who doesn't right?

This seems to be one of the cheapest ways to go for more power in my situation right now
 
hey man, i would do more reading on this but your problem with raising the boost would be the injectors running out of gas. so here is a thread on somebody that figured out the benefits of alcohol injection and used the stock injectors with a big16g and ran 11.9 in the 1/4. what you need to do is inject 100% methanol or denatured alcohol with no water so that you can make up for the gas that you do not have. here is the thread and if you need more help i can try, as i have not done this yet myself but i will try it no matter what. o ya and that was on pump gas...
read it all until the guy chimes in on the second page:

hope this helps, it helped me realize why some just use alcohol. but remember, if you do not want to go this route, water can also be very beneficial, im just showing you this if you want to run the stock injectors and a lot more boost.... which we all want to do..LOL
later

After looking at you profile id say that you should get some more supporting mods before water injection. Im considering it too, but Im at 21 psi on 91 oct with a little knock.

I would just get a 190 pump and rewire (usually no AFPR needed) it and then get some 650s or 660s and a FMIC.
and a SAFC with a DSM chip or get a DSM link. you will need this to tune anyway. thats about 1000 to 1400$ or less if you can get used stuff.

then you would be ready for a Evo 3 16 G or a 20g or a 5o trim when you get more cash.

one obvious down side to water ing. is that you have to constantly fill the bottle and if you run out of water and forget bye bye pistons!
