I think 8 psi on a ZE is a little high to start out with. 1 or 2 psi would probably be better to start out with. This way, you can see how it runs and work on the tuning before you blow it up

. A stand-alone engine managment system like MegaSquirt would be a great help for tuning purposes. Also, you may want to research how much fuel the engine is going to need at various levels of boost and make sure it will have enough for however high you want to go (ie upgraded fuel pump, larger injecters). Then, as you feel more comortable with the way it is tuned, you can start trying out a little more boost

. Just remember, the stock rods are designed for around 300hp and after that you are going to be getting closer to the possibility of bending a rod. I don't know if detonation will be a problem at the boost levels you're thinking of, but, just another thing to consider. I haven't boosted my car yet because I haven't gotten enough money yet, but, I have done a lot of research on the matter; my point being, I'm not the best one to give you the details on it, but, I'm giving you some generally good ideas based on the research I have done. I should be getting a MegaSquirt n' Spark system for my project car in couple of weeks
