I'm no poster child for a tip top running truck, but, i've been running 12psi for over a yr...and i run it pretty hard (w/ 75 shot of n2o and meth). i have some head work, but the bottom end is stock.
Good luck, and, drive it like ya stole it!

Mine's still running strong under 10# of boost and about 40,000 miles. Now....it's not *10 all day, every day, but it still runs 13.0's on street tires, and gets around 18-20 mpg on a trip. Been out to Cali, raced, dyno'd, drove back; 2 Power Tours; Florida, and back twice, all over the place around here, and no complaints.

Actually.....mileage wasn't too bad. Although, I really wasn't keeping tabs too closely. The worst part of the whole trip was I could only find 90 octane gas in Oklahoma.
