Yeah 12lbs, intercooled presumably, and with a proper tune is no biggie. Any more than that you're playing with proverbial fire, unless you have a really safe tune. My brother's truck is running 16-17psi through a 2.3 Kenne Bell on the stock bottom end. He is mostly very gentle with it because it's kinda like a barrel of nitroglycerine. Wrong move and BOOM!!!!

Yeah anything that would be done would definitely be sitting waiting for forced induction. I was thinking a remote turbo setup. I have to work till about November unti; I can afford another Panther because of school.
I may just swap in a PI or 4v instead of playing with the NPI on it. But this is all just talk until I get a car and a turbo huh?

Minor stuff:
PI intake swap: http://www.grandmarq.net/vb/showthre...-Manifold-Swap
dual exhaust
underdrive pulleys
Shouldn't need a tune for any of this, though it may help a little with the intake swap as the PI intake flows much better. If you do get it tuned and you are able to rev higher than stock at that point, consider replacing the mechanical fan and e-fan combo with a pure e-fan.

Steeda makes a kit for the vics I think.
