1G Is this boost ok for free/cheap mods?

[91Bomb]

I have a stock 1g with free/cheap mods (2-1/2" dp + high flow cat ) and real boost gauge. I was running 14 lbs boost operating under the assumption that stock 450 injectors max out somewhere around 15 lbs or so. I just turned up the boost yesterday and now seeing slightly over 15 lbs in lower to mid rpm range with it bleeding off to slightly under 15 lbs as rpm's climb. Since I only have a real boost gauge with no way to monitor knock (or anything else) am I taking a big chance -or- are stock injectors + fp with re-wire kit most definitely capable of handling this boost? I almost never run it beyond lower 6000 rpm range and under the impression that even if 15-16 lbs is where stock injectors and fp start to max out, it would be in the upper rpm range and no need to worry about those boost levels in sub 6000 rpm range. Is this a correct because I really don't want to damage anything. Thx!

If you still have the 1g maf, the ecu will fuel cut you when you exceed the airflow limits of it, and when you exceed those limits, that's pretty much when you exceed your 450's fuel too.

With a rewire you should be fine running 15psi on a 14b on stock injectors assuming that your stock pump is in good condition. I would at least get a logger and try to monitor for it though. A walbro 190 would be a real good idea also.

I'm running 1g maf so you're saying when I reach the limit I'll hit fuel cut and obviously know it while driving? Is that considered a fail safe and prevent detonation or other problems because I'm guessing fuel cut is something not too good at all.

I do have a logger on palm pilot but never figured out how to interpret it properly. Guess maybe it's time to work on that.

Yea, you'll know fuel cut, it hits like a brick wall.
