Well first off I\'d get and FCD, the knightsports on is going for around $50 on ebay.com at the moment.  I\'m running about 10psi max, I\'ve heard 12 is the maximum safe level, assuming every other part of the fueling and ignition system is working ok.
 Its worth checking all your vacuum/pressure lines first, any cracked pipes will start to split now your boosting.
 Out of interest, does your in car guage work ok?
