The stock internals will handle well over 8psi, I ran 9psi on stock compression and fuel. Just be sure your maintenance is done, bump to 9psi.

for a decent "starter" na-t kit, check out the XS Power kit on clubna-t.com. I still have some na-t parts if your interested, it will atleast get you started, just drop me a pm.
